BASIC FAULT FINDING

If your Freerider Scooter will not start:

1. Check the power key switch is turned 'on'. If it is, the

battery condition indicator meter will be operating. If the
green status light on your console is flashing once per
second, charge your batteries.

If the battery condition meter and the green status light fail
to operate when the key switch is in the 'on' position, check
the following:

1. Make sure the battery charger is not plugged into the

tiller charge socket, this will prevent drive.

2. Check both battery connectors.

Check battery terminal condition.

3. Check the 'circuit breaker' (Fig 36): If your Scooter

stops for no apparent reason, it is probably due to the
circuit breaker disconnecting from the speed control
lectronic box.

On rare occasions, a temporary overload on the electric
circuit can occur - for instance when climbing a steep
incline. If this happens, the circuit breaker, which is located
under your Freerider's rear cover and beneath your seat
will trip and pop out. To reset the circuit breaker wait for
two minutes to allow the temperature activated switch to
cool down. Locate the plunger on the circuit breaker
through the access hole (Fig 36 ). Place a finger onto the
circuit breaker and press down on the plunger until it
remains down. You are now ready to drive again.

If the circuit breaker trips up again wait for 5 minutes and
try again.

If you find the circuit breaker is continually tripping

out, contact your authorised

dealer.

The battery condition indicator meter operates and the
green status light flashes, your Freerider does not drive:

Check the 'white' plug's, located under the rear cover
and positioned in the main controller module (see Fig 25
page 20). Check also the status fault codes (page 32 )
indicated by the green L.E.D. on your console flashing.

If your

does not slow down or behaves erratically:

1. Turn off the power 'on' key switch.
2. Inform your authorised

dealer.
