4.7. Exchange and charging of battery

4.7.1. Removal and installation of battery
If you intend to use the vehicle longer than 5 hours, without being able to recharge the battery in
the meantime, or when the battery has reached the end of it`s lifetime or is defective, the battery
must be exchanged.
Attention: Always replace the battery by an original battery FIAMM-GS 7,2 Ah, as this battery
is a matched system with the recharger.
Note: Batteries contain environmentally harmful but at the same time valuable raw
materials and therefore must be appropriately disposed of or recycled.
Removal of battery:
Lift vehicle or place it on a trolley.
Detach the black (-) pole (to avoid short-
circuit).
Remove inner and outer rubber fixation strap
(pos. 19).
Lift battery cover top and bottom part
(pos. 20 and pos. 18) together.
Detach red (+) pole.
Remove battery (pos.17) from its support
(pos.14).
Attention: By no means a short circuit must be
produced between the two connecting pole. This would damage the battery or even
make the battery explode.
Attention: When transporting a removed battery, cover the two poles because in case of
contact with a metallic object this would cause fire.
Installation of battery:
Lift vehicle or place it on a trolley.
Install battery with black pole (-) pole being in front/bottom position.
Connect red (+) pole.
Fit battery cover lower and upper part (pos.18 and pos.20) together.
