STEPS TO CHARGE BATTERY:
1) IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT
TO CHARGE THE MINIMOTO™ ATV,
REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE LOCK.
2) Lift up the rubber protective cover of
the charger receptacle (Fig 11)
3) Note that the charging port has a
“groove” inside (Fig 12). This allows the
plug to be inser ted in the proper orienta-
tion to the port. Plug the charger into the
port.
4) Plug in the charger into an electrical
outlet.
5) Inspect that the RED or GREEN LED is
On. If the RED LED is ON, the battery is
charging. When properly charging the LED
on the charger will change to red. After
the battery is fully charged the LED will
return to GREEN. If there is no GREEN or
RED LED on at all, check that the power is
on from the outlet and that the charger is
properly plugged into the charging port.
NOTE: When properly charging, the RED
indicator light on the charger will be ON.
You may hear a clicking sound. This is
normal. MAKE SURE ANY SWITCHES

possible to use the Minimoto™ ATV after
this period but the total running time will
be reduced.
8) Remove the charger plug from the
charging port. Replace the r ubber protec-
tive cover over the charging port.
