manual abstract
Battery life and performance may be affected by temperature, terrain, condition of battery, the weight of the user, and care of batteries. The battery needle gauge is only a guide and is most effective when the scooter is moving, only then is the true discharge level displayed. • When the scooter stops the battery needle gauge may indicate full. • An active user can use up to 30% of battery capacity or more per day. • Inactive users may only use 50% of battery capacity in a week. • In both these instances the battery should be put on charge over night. Keeping the batteries charged will extend the life of the batteries Battery Charger The battery charger is a 2-amp transformer type off board. The Dasher/Start Portable scooter has a built in charger port on the rear side of the battery pack. This special feature allows the batteries within the battery pack to be charged without the scooter. A compartment built into the battery pack is designed to store the battery charger when not in use. First Time Use Prior to using your Dasher/Start Portable scooter for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency. Failure to do so may cause damage. Charging To charge the batteries connect the 3-pin male plug lead into the 3-pin female battery- charging socket located on the battery pack. Plug the A/C cord plug into the wall socket and the other end into the charger (2-pin). The battery charger has two indicator lights. The red light shows the batteries are charging. When the light turns green while connected to the charging port the batteries are fully charged. Once the batteries are completely charged, unplug the A/C cord from the wall then unplug the 3-pin lead from the battery pack. WARNING: Only use the original Shoprider approved charger! This charger is for indoor use only. DO NOT expose it to rain or water spray. Do not leave the charger plugged into the charger port if the charger is not charging. 12/8/2006 16 MAINTENANCE Tires Since your tires are flat free tires, there is no need to ever worry about tire air pressure. General Maintenance and Lubrication • Inspection for loose wheel bolts, seat and arm tightening bolts, and other nuts and bolts is recommended on a regular basis. • Most lubricated components on the Dasher/Start Portable scooter are designed to be maintenance free and are sealed. Therefore lubrication is not required for these components. However, the driving axles and seat post should always have a very light coat of multipurpose grease. DO NOT USE TOO MUCH GREASE! Drips may stain or damage carpets, furnishings, etc. • It is recommended that the driving axles (inside the drive wheel assembly) be checked and cleaned occasionally for hair and debris build-up, which will hinder the performance of the unit. • Check the batteries on a regular basis. For extended battery life, it is highly recommended that the batteries be fully charged after each use. If the batteries are weak, severely discharged or old, a variety of problems may occur with the unit including charging problems, reduced speed, loss of range, and others. Please contact your local Shoprider® provider for battery replacement. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Circuit Breaker (Reset Button) Your scooter is fitted with the latest in electronic controls that are programmed to protect the electrical system from abnormal overloads. Provided for extra protection is a circuit breaker, located on the side of the battery pack. Should there be a situation where your scooter stops for no apparent reason, please check that the circuit breaker has not popped. NOTE: To preserve battery charge, your scooter may go into sleep mode after being idle for a few minutes. To remove from sleep mode, turn the key off and back on again. Check List If your scooter fails to operate, please check the following: • Unit is switched on. • Drive/Freewheel mechanism is in the drive position. • All plugs and connectors are clean and firmly connected. • Battery level shows full charge. If the free wheel device has been operated with the scooter switched on, then the scooter will not operate until the ignition key has been switched off and then on again. Please consult your dealer if your scooter does not run after checking these points. 12/8/2006 17 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS UNIT SPECIFICATIONS DASHER 3 DASHER 4 Start Overall Dimensions: L1 x W x H in 38”x22”x31-35” 44”x22”x31-35” 38”x20”x31-35” Number, Size of Tires Front 1,8” 2,7” 1, 8” Rear 2, 8” 2, 8” 2, 8” Suggested User Weight (on the Level Road) lb MAX. 250 MAX. 250 MAX 250 Weight of Heaviest Part (Front Chassis Assembly) lb 33 33 25 Total Weight (w/ 12Ah Battery Pack, Basket, Seat) lb 88 95 81 Battery Pack Module Weight lb 22 22 22 Battery Module Capacity _V_Ah x Pcs 12V12Ah x 2 12V12Ah x 2 12V12Ah x 2 Charger AMPS Off Board (2A) Off Board (2A) Off Board (2A)...
