CLEANING THE BATTERIES If the battery is contaminated by dirty water, battery acid, dust or other garbage, the battery will discharge more quickly. Therefore, please follow the following steps to clean the battery. If necessary, ask for help from your ActiveCare dealer for cleaning and replacing of the battery. 1. Turn the scooter power switch to OFF. 2. Remove the seat. 3. Remove the shroud and unplug the terminal of the taillight and signal lights. 4. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the soiled area. 5. Take out the battery. 6. Clean the battery with a clean cloth. If the terminal is covered by white powder, please clean it by using warm water. Do not expose the battery to temperatures lower than 14°F or higher than 122°F when charging or storing the scooter. Exceeding the specified temperature ranges can lead to freezing or overheating of the battery. This will possibly damage the batteries and shorten their lifetime. The battery used on your scooter is sealed lead acid, which is maintenance-free, so it is not needed to change or refill the battery liquid. Suggestion 1. Do not use the battery to charge any other equipment. 2. Battery capability will vary with outside conditions; the driving distances will be shorter in the winter. 3. If the scooter is not to be used for a long time, please charge the battery every three months. 4. Replace both batteries at the same time. 13 Prowler 3310/3410 Owner's Manual
