CHARGER FUSE
Electronics Tray
The electronics tray is located on the back of the power base. See figures 4 and 5. The ammeter, the onboard charger AC power
cord receptacle, the main circuit breaker, the controller connector, and the charger inhibit connector are all located on the
electronics tray.
Ammeter:
The ammeter displays the chargers current output in amps. See VII. Batteries and Charging.
Onboard Battery Charger AC Power Cord Receptacle:
This is where the AC power cord plugs into the onboard charger.
Self-Resetting Thermal Fuse:
The self-resetting thermal fuse is located inside the power base. It protects the battery circuit
from overloading. When there is an excessive strain on the batteries from steep inclines or heavy load, the thermal fuse will
reduce the amount of current going to the controller by 60%. The current will return to 100% when the fuse cools to within its
normal operating temperature range.
Main Circuit Breaker (650 with 70 amp Pilot or 70 amp Remote only):
The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built
into your Jazzy. When the batteries and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker
trips to prevent damage to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow your Jazzy to rest for approximately one
minute. Next, push in the circuit breaker button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit
breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride provider.
