The battery charger - functioning principle
The battery charger regulates the voltage (Volt)
and the current (Ampere) from your mains
connection down to the voltage required f or
charging your batteries (24 V olt). The amount of
charging current required is dependent on the
charging state of the dischar ged ba tteri es.
Batteries mostly discharged = more charging current
Batteries half discharged = decreased charging current
Batteries completely charged = no charging current
Since no charging current is flowing when the batteries are full,
the batteries cannot be overloaded.
The Batteries
The entire power supply is taken over by
two 12 V batteries.
These are located below the motor
cover under the seat.
The batteries used in the scooter are
known as batteries for cyclic use.
Only enclosed maintenance-free
batteries are used.

The control unit
The control unit is a programmable
electronic regulating unit. It regulates drive
characteristics such as acceleration,
maximum speed and braking beha viour .
The drive characteristics can be set to
match the user’ s requirement s by altering
the programming.
Reprogramming may only be carried out by
specialist dealers.
12.8 The auto switch-o
The auto switch-off automatically switches
the scooter off after 10 minutes at a
stand- still.
This protects the batteries from being
discharged if the ForU was inadvertently
not switched off.
12.9
Brakes
The scooter is automatically braked if the
drive lever (1) is in the central position.
To apply the brakes, si m pl y let go off the
drive lever which is then returned to its
central position by a spring.
The scooter is then braked by the drive
motor. When the scooter is at a standstill
or has been switched off, it is braked by
a magnetic brake.
