To Charge Vehicle
NOTE
If the motorcycle tips over while plugged into a charger, the motorcycle will sense the tip and terminate charging. When plugging into an unfamiliar wall outlet, it is good practice to let the vehicle charge for several minutes before leaving it unattended, to ensure it is in fact supplying the expected Alternating Current (AC) charging power.
| 1. | Plug the AC plug into the appropriate wall outlet and wait until the green power Light Emitting Diode (LED) is solid. See Figure 3. NOTE Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is designed to plug directly into wall outlet. Do not use extension cords to reach motorcycle. Move motorcycle closer to outlet if EVSE will not reach. See Figure 1. | |
| 2. | Plug the COUPLER into your vehicle’s charging outlet until it clicks making sure it is safely secured. See Figure 4. | |
| 3. | If the coupler is inserted properly, the CHARGE light will turn solid blue. See Figure 5. | |
| 4. | Once latched, the COUPLER will not disengage unless the latch button is manually pressed. See Figure 7. EV3 models require that the fob is present and the "OK/Enter" button on the LHCM be held for 2 seconds. See Figure 6. | |
| 5. | Automatic charging begins and power will be delivered according to battery demand. | |
| 6. | When fully charged, the blue light will turn off and only the solid green light will stay illuminated. See Figure 3. NOTE
| |
| 7. | Disconnect COUPLER when the charge is complete by pressing the latch button on the COUPLER and removing it from the vehicle. See Figure 7. EV3 models also require the fob to be near the motorcycle and pressing the "OK/Enter" button on the LHCM be held for 2 seconds. See Figure 6. | |
| 8. | Unplug AC plug from wall outlet. See Figure 8. |

Indicator Lights
- Solid Green Light - Status Indicator: See Figure 3. When plugged into the wall outlet, the solid green status indicator light illuminates to communicate that the charger is ready to use and can be plugged into the vehicle.
- Solid Blue Light - Status Indicator: See Figure 5. While the battery is charging, the solid blue charging status indicator light illuminates to communicate that the vehicle is charging properly.
- Red - Trouble Indicator: The red trouble indicator light illuminates solid or blinking when the charger has detected an error. If the light is illuminated the charger will not deliver power to the vehicle. The error must be corrected before a charging cycle can begin or continue. Refer to Troubleshooting in the EVSE Owner's Manual for more information.
Table 1. EVSE Indicator Lights Status
Green (Power) | Blue (Charge) | Red (Fault) | Description / Action: |
|---|---|---|---|
 | | | Not powered. |
 | | | In Standby mode: not plugged in to vehicle, or charging has completed. |
|  | | Charging (normal operation). |
| |  | Overcurrent fault. Unplug from the vehicle, and do not attempt to reconnect if the error persists. |
| |  | Invalid pilot signal. Disconnect from vehicle and wall outlet and retry. |
|  | | Self-test failed. Unplug from the vehicle and wall outlet, and do not reconnect to the vehicle if the error persists. |
 | | | Damaged internal relay. Do not attempt to charge. |
| | | Control box temperature is elevated. Consider charging in a cooler area, and/or out of direct sunlight. |
| | | AC plug temperature limit exceeded. Make sure the outlet fits snugly and is rated correctly. Consider a different outlet or consult your electrician. |
| | | Control box temperature limit exceeded. Allow the unit to cool and try charging in a cooler area. |
| | | AC voltage limit exceeded. Consider a different outlet or consult your electrician. |
| | | Control box internal error. Replace portable charger. |
| | | Short circuit or ground fault detected. Unplug from the vehicle and retry. If the problem persists, do not attempt to charge. |
| | | Earth ground not detected. Consider a different outlet or consult your electrician. |
Auto-Restart
Your EVSE has an auto-restart feature which ensures that your vehicle will be charged and ready for use when needed. When a charge interrupt occurs and an error is detected, the charger will cycle on and off to clear the error until the auto-restart removes the error. Charging will resume once the error is no longer detected. If the error is not overcome, the RED TROUBLE Indicator will remain. The exception to an immediate restart is when the interruption is due to a charger GFCI fault. The Charger will attempt to restart 15 minutes after a GFCI event. After the fourth attempt to restart, the charger will shut down and the RED TROUBLE Indicator will stay ON. If the fault persists, do not continue to try to charge your vehicle.
