Troubleshooting:
If the unit does not operate, check all of the wiring connections to make sure they’re
both mechanically and electrically sound – specifically at the battery, and the motor.
Charge the unit overnight.
A fully-charged lead acid battery in good condition at room temperature should read
12.65 volts. At 11.9 volts it is considered to be fully discharged and in need of charging.
When checking battery voltage, wait at least 1\2 hour after the charger has been turned
off before checking the battery’s voltage.
If the batteries aren’t being charged by the charger, check the output charger fuse. First,
remove the yellow cover, 2 screws on top. The fuse is on the bottom of the charger.
Verify the fuse is good with an ohmmeter, or close visual (ohm meter best). Fuse is a
10Amp 250 Volt; GDA 10A.
If it is good, plug the charger in and check the lights next to the fuse.
Red: Power On
Yellow: Charging
Green: Full Charge
Green Flashing: Batteries are not connected to charger
Verify the on off switch is set to on.
With the charger connected to the battery read the output voltage of the battery charger.
Depending on the state of charge of the batteries, the voltage should be somewhere
around 26 to 29 volts dc typically.
If the charger is functioning properly, install the black tray over the batteries and the
yellow shroud over the back.
