BASIC FAULT FINDING
If your 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:
(2) Make sure the battery charger is not plugged into the tiller charge socket, this will
prevent drive.
(3) Check both battery connectors. Check battery terminal condition.
(4) Check the 'circuit breaker'
If your Scooter stops for no apparent reason, it is probably due to the circuit breaker
disconnecting from the speed control electronic box.
On rare occasions, a temporary overload on the electric circuit can occur – for
instance when climbing a steep incline. If this happens, 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. 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.
1.Fault Diagnosis:
Faults with the main speed controller are rare. Most faults on powered vehicles
are associated with wiring or misconnections due to poor maintenance or incorrect
installation of connectors when assembling the Scooter after transportation in a car.
If your Scooter should fail to operate you will be assisted in diagnosis and locating
the area of the fault by observing the number of flashes emitted from the 'green'
status light on your control console.
