POWER DOWN TIMER FEATURE
Your scooter is equipped with an energy saving automatic power down timer feature designed to preserve your
scooter’s battery life. If you mistakenly leave the key in the key switch and in the “on” position but do not use your
scooter for approximately 20 minutes, the scooter’s controller shuts down automatically. Although the controller is
shut down, power will still be supplied to the scooter’s lighting system.
If the power down timer feature takes effect, perform the following steps to resume normal operation.
1. Remove the key from the key switch.
2. Reinsert the key and power up your scooter.
