BATTERY INFORMATION

NOTE:

IF THE SCOOTER

BATTERIES ARE LOW

ON CHARGE, THE

YELLOW LIGHT WILL

GLOW STEADILY. AS

THE BATTERIES ARE

BEING CHARGED, THE

YELLOW LIGHT WILL

BEGIN TO FLASH,

RAPIDLY AT FIRST,

THEN MORE SLOWLY

AS THE BATTERIES

ACQUIRE THEIR

CHARGE. THE GREEN

LIGHT WILL BEGIN TO

FLASH AS THE BATTER-

IES APPROACH FULL

CHARGE. THE BATTER-

IES ARE FULLY

CHARGED WHEN THE

GREEN LIGHT BLINKS

SLOWLY AND

STEADILY.

We recommend using only gelled electrolyte batteries (commonly called gel cells) or starved electrolyte batteries because it eliminates potential acid spills, reduces emission of corrosive vapors and allows you to transport your scooter on commercial airlines. In addition, our battery charger is calibrated specifically for use with specific gelled electrolyte or starved electrolyte batteries and is not suited for use with conventional lead-acid batteries. The specific batteries we recommend with the Cliplight charger are: Johnson Control JC12170 and Sonnenschein A200-90555.

OPTIONAL BATTERY CHARGER PACKAGE:

The 5 AMP INTERACTER charger will allow you to use any Gel or Starved electrolyte battery.

STANDARD BATTERY PACKAGE:

The standard battery pack is a 24 volt unit with (2) 12 volt, 17 amp-hour batteries, and has a range of 14-16 miles under normal conditions.

OPTIONAL BATTERY PACKAGES:

The extended range package contains (2) U1 batteries connected in series to create a 24 volt system. The range is extended to 30 miles under normal conditions.

CHARGING YOUR REGAL CUB'S BATTERIES

You REGAL CUB comes equipped with an automatic 3-amp battery charger.

To charge your batteries on the scooter:

1. Position the scooter and battery charger near a standard electrical wall outlet.

2. Pull the Key Jack to the "off" position.

NOTE:

IF OPTIONAL 5 AMP

5. The yellow charging light on the charger will light.

6. When the batteries are fully charged, and the green light is on, unplug the charger from the wall outlet, and disconnect the charger from the scooter. Although

this charger will automatically shut down when the batteries are fully charged, for safety's sake, the charger should not be left on for a period of time longer than is needed to fully charge the batteries.

Batteries which are in good condition can normally be recharged in approximately 6 hours.

NOTE: The optional 5 AMP INTERACTER charger can charge any sealed, gel and starved electrolyte battery. It will charge the standard battery pack in approximately 3-5 hours.

TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES OFF THE SCOOTER:

(The extended range package has separate instructions.)

1. Position the battery box and battery charger near an electrical wall outlet.

2. Plug the charger into the mating plug on the battery box.

3. Plug the charger into the wall outlet. The red Power On indicator will light.

4. The yellow Charging light on the charger will light.

NOTE:

If the scooter batteries are low on charge, the yellow light will glow steadily. As the batteries are being charged, the yellow light will begin to flash, rapidly at first, then more slowly as the batteries acquire their charge. The batteries are fully charged when the green light blinks slowly and steadily. NOTE: When

using the Interacter Charger, the green LED will glow continuously when the batteries are fully charged.

BATTERY INFORMATION

CIRCUIT BREAKER

A Manual Reset Circuit Breaker (White Button) is located on the Battery Case for easy access. This safeguard is to protect wiring and batteries against damage in the case of a short circuit or excessive current draw.

1. Do not attempt to prevent circuit breaker operation by holding the button down as this may result it damage to the REGAL CUB or personal injury.
