Possible causes for the main circuit breaker to trip

•

“Run-down” batteries.

•

Over exerting the motor.

Possible solutions:

•

Recharge your batteries.

•

If the problem persists, have an authorized Golden Technologies dealer

“load test” the batteries to assure they are not damaged.

•

If the problem persists, assure your battery charger is operating properly.

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 using the following directions:

1. Wait 5 minutes to allow the motor and electronics board to cool, or return

to “normal” operating temperature.

2. Press in on the main circuit breaker reset button.

WARNING: BE SURE YOU REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE KEY RECEPTACLE BEFORE
RESETTING YOUR SCOOTER.

NOTE

: If the main circuit breaker continues to trip, there is an underlying

electrical fault that needs professional attention. Please contact your local
Golden Technologies Dealer.

NOTE

: Do not reset your main circuit breaker repeatedly. You must correct the

underlying problem. Failure to correct the problem could cause injury or damage
and will void the warranty.
