Housed in the Circuit Breaker Unit is a 30 Amp auto reset circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker ever cuts out
wait a bit then try turning the PowerPac on again.
If the circuit breaker keeps cutting out it may be due to either:
Continuous overworking of the PowerPac Motor (check Torque Pressure setting is set to “Normal” and use
the “Free Running” Stylus operation mode) or
The PowerPac Motor Gearbox might have an internal fault or
The Circuit Breaker is faulty.
Behind the yellow Switch is a Snubber Unit. The Snubber Unit houses a circuit that diffuses any excess
current left in the system after the quad is turned off.
Both units are boxed and sealed with silicone to prevent water from entering.
Installation Instruction
1. Mount the yellow Switch unit so it is close at hand on the right side of the quad (view taken if sitting on the
quad).
2. The black lead with the ring terminal coming from the Switch (the “Earth Lead’) must be pushed under the
plastic bodywork and appear again alongside the quad’s battery. Connect the ring terminal of this lead to
the negative terminal of the battery.
NOTE:
DO NOT connect the black Earth Lead (ring terminal end) to the quad frame. Connect it directly to the
battery! The amperage draw of the PowerPac Motor is significant and requires a more consistent and reliable
circuit.
3. Find a spot for the Circuit Breaker Unit to sit in permanently near the battery and connect the lead with a
ring terminal to the positive terminal.
4. Pass the long red lead from the Circuit Breaker Unit (under the quad bodywork on the left hand side of the
quad so that it re-emerges close to the PowerPac Motor and connect.
5. Take the other black lead from the yellow Switch (the “Lead Switch) and connect to the PowerPac Motor.
Secure this lead by tying it on the PowerPac Carrier (e.g. cable ties make a tidy job of it).
6. Turn on the yellow PowerPac Motor Switch and check the Motor Gearbox shaft is turning anticlockwise.
NOTE:
All leads are made from 44 amp cable. Do not ‘doctor in’ cables with a lesser specification (i.e. only
replace with an equivalent or greater specification cable).
