CAUTION
●Place the powered scooter in a well-ventilated area where work can be
performed without risking damage to carpeting or floor covering.
●Failure to use the correct battery size and/or voltage may cause damage
to the powered scooter and give unsatisfactory performance.
●When tightening the clamps, always use a box or crescent wrench. Pliers
will round off (strip) the nuts. NEVER wiggle the terminal when tightening
as the battery may be damaged.
WARNING
● The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual
are based on the use of deep cycle sealed lead acid batteries. Karma
strongly recommends their use as the power source for this unit. We
also recommend you go to an authorized Karma dealer to have a
qualified technician perform this work
● NEVER allow any of your tools and/or battery cables to contact BOTH
terminal posts at the same time. An electrical short may occur and
injury or damage may occur.

6.6.7 If necessary, lift the battery terminal insulator/ boot off the battery terminal
(you will need a crescent wrench.)
6.6.8 Position and secure battery cables onto new battery terminals. Connect the

● Dispose of unwanted batteries according to federal, state, and local
regulations. Do not burn the batteries. Batteries should be recycled.
Contact authorized dealers for more information.
● DO NOT improperly dispose of unwanted batteries or injuries may occur.
Contact with battery acid causes injuries or damage to skin. Mishandling
can result in 2nd or 3rd degree burns or blindness. Swallowing battery
acid will cause fatal burns to internal organs. Breathing fumes from a
battery may cause discomfort and damage your respiratory system.
NOTE: Charge the batteries daily. It is critical not to let them run low at any time.
NOTE: Karma recommends that both batteries be replaced if one batter
is defective.
