Charger Safety Information
The charger works on 120/240 V 50/60 Hz standard home AC power
outlets. The charger is designed to generate heat when in operation.
As a result, the charger should only be used indoors in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area and on a flat, stable, hard surface. Similarly, do
not cover the charger and keep it free from contact with liquids, dirt,
debris, or metal objects when in use. Store and use the charger in a
safe place away from children and where it cannot suffer damage
from falls or other impacts.
WARNING! If not treated properly, your charger could overheat
and start a fire. If the charger gets too hot to touch, you notice a
strange smell when charging, or you observe any other indication
that the charger may be overheating, discontinue charger use
immediately and contact ElliptiGO customer service at
888.796.8227 or service@elliptigo.com.
Only charge the battery using the provided charger or a replacement
charger purchased from ElliptiGO directly. Do not yank or pull on the
charger cables. When unplugging the charger, carefully remove the
cables by pulling on the plastic plugs, not pulling on the actual
cables.
WARNING! Using a charger other than the one included with this
kit or a replacement purchased directly from ElliptiGO can damage
your battery and cause a fire or explosion. Only charge the battery
with the correct charger.
Charging the Battery
Fully charge the battery prior to operating your bike for the first time.
You can charge the battery on its own or while it is attached to the
bike. Before charging your battery, always check the charger, charger
cables, and battery for damage. Place the charger and battery in a
safe area, free from direct sunlight and debris, and arranged so the
lights on each are visible. Arrange the charging cords so they are in
the least likely position for someone to trip over. Only charge the
battery in temperatures between 50 °F and 86 °F (10 °C and 30 °C).
WARNING! A damaged charger, battery or cables can result in a
fire or additional damage to your charger and/or battery. It is
critical that your charging system is free from damage before you
begin the charging process.
