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:
•
Wait ten minutes or so for the motor control board to return to the normal operating
temperature range.
•
Make certain that the key switch is set to the “Off” position.
•
Press in on the main circuit breaker reset button. See Fig. 22.
NOTE: If the main circuit breaker continues to trip, there is probably an underlying electrical fault
that needs attention
.
Contact your authorised dealer
.
WARNING: Do not keep resetting the main circuit breaker without correcting the underlying
electrical problem.
DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostics feature of your scooter’s microprocessor based motor control board functions as
follows:
•
Any fault condition on the controller or on an associated system will cause the Power
Indicator LED to flash and a beep to sound.
•
The flashing of the LED occurs as one flash / beep or as a series of flashes / beeps
separated by a two second pause.
•
The number of flashes / beeps in each series is referred to as the “Flash Code.”
•
The flash code indicates the nature of the condition or fault – see below
The Flash and Beep Codes
1 Flash:
Indicates that the battery voltage (with the throttle control lever in the neutral position) is
below 19 volts. The batteries need to be charged. Your scooter will continue to operate at
reduced speeds until the voltage falls to 17.5 volts. As the voltage drops you will experience
a power loss.
Remedy: Charge your scooter’s batteries. See “Batteries and Charging” in this section.
2 Flashes:
Indicates that the battery voltage has dropped to 17.5 volts. At this voltage your scooter will
cease operation. If you have charged the batteries and the condition continues, one or both
of the scooter’s batteries may be at fault. The continuance of this condition after you have
charged your scooter’s batteries may also indicate a problem with the battery charger.
3 Flashes
Consult your authorised dealer.
4 Flashes
Indicates that the motor control board is overloaded and overheated. An overload can occur
if you have been driving your scooter for an extended period of time up an incline that is
steeper than the recommended grade (see “Specifications” on page 22). An overload can
occur if your scooter is carrying a payload that is higher then the recommended weight
capacity. See “Specifications” on page 22 for your scooter’s weight capacity. If your scooter
is equipped with pneumatic tyres and they are underinflated, an overload can also occur.
Underinflated tyres cause the motor to draw large amounts of current. This high draw
overheats the motor control board. Your scooter will not operate until the motor control
board cools back to its operational temperature range.
Remedy: Turn off your scooter’s key switch and allow the scooter to sit for 10 minutes.
Have your authorised dealer perform a battery load test.
5 Flashes
Indicates a brake problem. The freewheel lever may be in the disengaged position. See
page 11. The brake or the brake wiring may be damaged. For safety reason, your scooter
