Possible causes for the main circuit breaker to trip

If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, low tire pressure can cause the
motor to overload and trip the main circuit breaker;

Driving up a long, steep hill;

Driving over a curb;

Run-down batteries.
As you operate your scooter, battery voltages go down and battery current must rise
to satisfy the demands of the motor and of other electrical devices operating on your
scooter. This can cause a heavy current draw that will trip the main circuit breaker.
Remedy:

Recharge your scooters batteries. See “Charger and Batteries” in this section of
this manual;

If the problem continues, have your authorized 2GO ability dealer load test the
batteries;

If the batteries are good, the charger may be the problem. Consult your
authorized 2GO ability dealer.
Resetting the Main Circuit Breaker

If the main circuit breaker trips as a result of run-down batteries or because of a
temporary overload, reset the circuit breaker;

Wait ten minutes or so for the motor control board to return to the normal
operating temperature range;

Make certain that the key switch is set to the “Off” position;

Press the reset button in on the main circuit breaker, see picture 21.

Tip
If the main circuit breaker continues to trip, there is probably an underlying
electrical fault that needs attention, consult your 2GO ability dealer.
