TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Scooter will not run
Scooter suddenly stops working while
in use
Scooter run time is short
(less than 15 minutes per charge)
Possible Cause
Charger is not working
Scooter must be traveling 3mph
before motor will engage.
Battery needs a charge
Wires or connectors are loose
circuit breaker has been tripped
Battery requires charging
Battery is old and will not accept
full charge
Brakes are not adjusted correctly
(brake too tight)
Solution
Make sure power flow to the wall
outlet is on.
Kick start to 3mph while twisting the
throttle to engage motor.
Charge the battery. A new battery
should be charged for at least 18
hours before using the scooter for
the first time and up to 12 hours after
each subsequent use.
Check to make sure that charger
is tightly plugged into both the wall
outlet and the scooter
Check all wires and connectors to
make sure they are connected and
tight.
The reset button (on the left side of
the battery box) will automatically trip
and turn off the power if the motor is
overloaded.
An excessive overload, steep incline or
too heavy of a rider could have caused
the motor to overheat and tripped the
breaker. If this occurs and the scooter
suddenly stops running, wait a few
seconds and then push the reset
button in to reset the circuit. Correct
the condition that caused the breaker
to trip to avoid repeatedly tripping the
breaker
Fully charge the battery. First charge
should be 18 hours and up to 12
hours for recharges
Check to ensure that charger is tightly
plugged into both the wall outlet and
the scooter.
Make sure power flow to the wall
outlet is on.
Battery may need to be replaced.
Even with proper care, rechargeable
batteries do not last forever. The
average rechargeable battery life is
1 to 2 years depending on scooter
conditions and use. Replace only with
Dynacraft recommended replacement
batteries.
Refer to the instructions on adjusting
the brakes on page 14.
