BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your Freerider Scooter is equipped with two maintenance free
12 volt batteries The batteries are linked together by wiring
cables to supply the electronic system with 24 volts of power
Warning: It is imperative that the two batteries are
connected correctly to prevent a short circuit between the
two batteries.
When first installing the batteries follow these assembly
instructions
1 Connect the red wire of the battery cable to the positive (+]
terminal of the battery, with the screw, nut and washer
provided (see diagram below]
2 Connect the black wire of the battery cable to the negative (-]
terminal of the battery, with the screw, nut and washer
provided (see diagram below]
3 Repeat this procedure on the second battery making certain
the plastic red/black terminal covers are secured over each
terminal

below, making certain that the terminals are positioned to the
front of the Scooter (Figs 17 - 18, page 17]

BATTERY CONNECTIONS
Warning:
Batteries are heavy, always handle with two hands Do
not allow metal tools to touch both battery terminals together,
this will cause an electrical short and may damage the battery
and injure you Make certain the red and black battery wires are
correctly attached to the ‘+’ and ‘-’ terminals as the diagram
below Failure to observe this warning may cause an explosion,
short circuit, fire or injury to your person
BATTERY CHARGING
Your Scooter has a lot of power for a small Scooter Keeping
it working to its maximum potential means that its two
batteries must be maintained with full power Nightly
recharging, after use, will help you to give them a longer life
and will ensure your Scooter is always ready to go when you
are
BATTERIES
Your Scooter is fitted with two sealed maintenance-free
batteries, especially designed for motive traction use This
means that you do not have to worry about topping up the
cells Warning: Do not attempt to remove the safety valves
situated in the top of the battery Failure to observe this
warning will invalidate your battery guarantee
Your Scooter batteries are virtually maintenance-free because
the electrolyte is immobilised in a special form and therefore
will not leak out, even if the battery is accidentally overturned
Because your Freerider batteries are sealed they are more
likely to be accepted for carriage on aircraft Please consult
your carrier prior to departure, as they will need advance
warning that you wish them to carry batteries
Please note: Each carrier reserves the right not to carry what
may be termed ‘HAZARDOUS CARGO‘ Freerider cannot
be held responsible for their final decision
