Overload protection - motor protection
The overload protection system switches the drive off if the motor
becomes overloaded by trying to climb over too high an obstacle such
as a kerbstone, or if you try to climb to steep an incline.
Should the overload protection system activate, the motor or power
module has overheated. This can be caused by driving up long inclines
with high load and/or under high environmental temperatures.
Activation of the overload protection trip should be seen as a warning to
inform users not to continue driving under present conditions.
If activation occurs on an incline, then the incline is either too steep or
the duration of driving on the incline is too long. Continued driving on
such an incline should not be continued - even if the overload protection
device allows you to do so. The motor could become dammaged by
such sustained excessive temperatures.
If the motor is overloaded, the following happens:
• the Strider becomes noticeably slower and then stops
• the control system switches the Strider off
Tipping hazard!
There is an increased tipping hazard if the incline is very steep.
• Try to get help from a second person when turning your
scooter round.
To rectify this:
Switch the scooter off and allow it to cool down for a few minutes.
Switch the scooter on again and ...
... reverse away from the obstacle (such as kerbstone) and then
try again at a lower point.
... be careful turning the scooter round on inclines, and always
reverse away very slowly.

Accident hazard in push mode!
If the incline is too steep, there is a danger that you will not
be able to hold onto the scooter and that it will roll down the
incline uncontrolled.
