ABOUT THE BUZZAROUND XL™ SERVICE GUIDE 

This service guide provides you with the information necessary to troubleshoot the Golden Technologies Buzzaround XL 
GB117/GB147. The troubleshooting scenarios in this manual consist of procedures that enable you to systematically trace 
and correct faults in the system. Appendices A and B include instructions on how to measure voltage and continuity with 
a multimeter.  

 

Before troubleshooting, check the following: 

 

Make sure that the circuit breaker is reset. 

 

Visually check terminals for corrosion. Check wires for missing insulation. 

 

Make sure the battery terminals are securely tightened.

 

 

Make sure that the batteries are fully charged and are in good working order. 

When possible, keep sets of 

known good batteries of various ratings in your shop at all times. The Buzzaround XL uses either two (2) 12AH 
or (2) 22AH batteries. Problems that surface during troubleshooting are often due to the fact that the batteries are 
not fully charged or can not hold their charge. 

 

Make sure that the electrical connections are secure. 

Unplug the connectors and make sure all the pins in the 

connectors are seated securely. If necessary, push any unseated pins back into their connector housings to securely 
seat them. 

 

 

If you get to a point during troubleshooting where you cannot continue, call Technical Support 

at 800-624-6374. 
 
BUZZAROUND XL COMPONENTS

 

The Buzzaround XL is a battery-operated scooter with a controller that monitors the system and beeps when it detects a 
fault in the system. The Buzzaround XL was designed to operate within a range of between 18 - 24 volts (V) of direct 
current (DC). 
 

 The Buzzaround XL control system is made up of the components listed below. Each of these 

components is designated by its assigned number. Refer to the figure 11 (wiring diagram) on page 10.
