Batte

Batte

charge display:

The battery charger displa y on the dashboard shows the battery ch arging state.

Display ranges

Full = maximum range Medium = decreased driving range, charge

batteries after journey

Reserve = minimum driving range, end

journey as soon as possible, charge batteries

Important information about reading the batter

charge display:

If the scooter is at standstill, it is often the case that the battery charging state is shown higher than it actu ally is.

The display can vary greatly while the vehicle is travelling (depending on load).

If the vehicle is under heavier loading (for example heavy acceleration, driving up hills), the pointer can sometimes go to the red area of the displa y. This is not critical and does not indicate the

actual

charging state of the batteries. If the pointer has gone into the red area of the display after the

journey, it will often show green after the

FOR U has been turned off

for a long period. This does not indicate the

actual charging state of the batteries! If the pointer is in the red area of the display at the end of the journey, the batteries must be charged bef ore continuing the journe y . Disregarding this can lead to destructi on of the batteries!

•

Determining the actual charging state:



Drive at a constant speed for about 200 m along a straight leve

route. The value shown by the display during the journey is the actual battery

charging

state.

Driving range

The

FOR U driving range is dependent on the following conditions in

addition to battery charge:

landscapeconditions ( level or steep) weight of user weather conditions (cold, rain)

driving with headlights (if fitted) For this reason, information about the driving range is only given as a guideline. The more e xperienced you are in using the

FOR U, the easie

it will be for you to determine the driving range using the battery charging state.

You will be able to achieve the best possible driving range if you:

ensure that the tyres are inflated correctly avoid steep inclines as much as possible do not carry any unne cessary luggage drive at an even speed do not accelerate or brak e unnecessarily.

• drive in cold weather

• drive in hilly regions

Only use the original battery charger (included in delivery). Only use the battery charger in a dry and well-ventilated room. Do not cover the battery charger and ventilation slot while charging

batteries. The battery charger has an automatic switch-off device which

prevents overcharging the batteries. Do not leave the battery charger connected to the scooter for more than 24 hours.

When is charging required?

the battery charge display is in the red area after the final journey of the day at least once per week

12.9 Theauto switch-of

The auto switch-off automatically switches the FOR U off after 20 minutes at a standstill. This protects the batteries from being discharged if the FOR U was inadvertently not switched off.

12.10 Brakes on the FOR U

The FOR U is automatically braked if the

drive lever (1) is in the central position. To apply the brak es, simply let go off the drive lever which is then returned to its central position by a spring. The FOR U is then braked by the drive motor. When the FOR U is at a standstill or has been switched off, it is braked by a magnetic brake.
