Hurricane
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that
may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because
the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES
The diagnostic flash codes for your Hurricane are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and
easily. A diagnostic flash code will flash from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed below
develops.
NOTE: Your Hurricane will not run unless the flash code condition is resolved and the Hurricane has been
turned off, then turned back on.
What if all the systems on my Hurricane seem to be “dead”?
n Make certain that the key is in the “on” position.
n Check that the batteries are fully charged. See V. “Batteries and Charging.”
n Push in the main circuit breaker reset button. See IV. “Your Hurricane. ”
n Make certain that both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the electronics module and to the battery
terminals. See VIII. “Disassembly and Assembly.”
n Make sure that the silver front-to-rear harness is firmly connected to the electronics module. See VIII.
“Disassembly and Assembly.”
n Be sure the auto shutoff feature hasn’t been activated. See V. “Batteries and Charging.”
n Check the fuses. See XI. “Care and Maintenance” for fuse replacement.
What if the motor runs but my Hurricane does not move?
n With the key turned to the “on” position, check the status LED. If the LED flashes three times, pauses briefly,
then flashes twice, this is the manual freewheel lever code meaning your Hurricane is in freewheel mode. See
table above.
n When the manual freewheel lever is pulled up, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the transaxle is cut.
n Push down the manual freewheel lever to restore normal operation to your Hurricane. See IV. “Your Hurricane. ”
