charged level in the optimum ambient
temperature range of 15 C – 25 C.TIPWhen the charging process is complet-
ed, the power from the built-in batterycharger is cut off automatically.
Waiting mode for charging
The vehicle enters a waiting mode if thetemperature is not suitable for charging
as follows:

The battery may be above the
maximum 50 C immediately after
riding. In this case, the charger en-
ters a waiting mode and “HEAT”
flashes until the battery and bat-
tery charger reach the specified
temperature.

If ambient temperature is below
–5 C, “COOL” flashes until the
battery and battery charger reach
the specified temperature.
When the temperature is suitable for

Braking
WARNING
EWA10300

Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the scooter
may skid or overturn.

Railroad crossings, streetcar
rails, iron plates on road con-
struction sites, and manhole
covers become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
down when approaching such
areas and cross them with cau-
tion.

Keep in mind that braking on a
wet road is much more difficult.

Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-cult.
1. Close the accelerator grip com-
pletely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.Front

sible. Safety is an obligation of the vehi-
cle owner/operator. The most important
points of vehicle inspection, adjust-
ment, and lubrication are explained on
the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance charts should be simply
considered as a general guide under
normal riding conditions. However, de-
pending on the weather, terrain, geo-
graphical location, and individual use,
the maintenance intervals may need to
be shortened.
