Circuit Breaker
Figure 23

Figure 25
The circuit breaker is attached to the batteries only. It is intended to shut off power to the system in the event
the motor is overloaded. This can be the result of several different factors. For example, the weight capacity of
the unit has been exceeded, the unit is run in excessively hot temperature or the operator attempts to climb a
hill beyond the units ability. If any of these cause the circuit breaker to trip, two things will need to happen for
the unit to function again. The unit must have sufficient time to cool, and the breaker will need to be reset.
The breaker is reset on earlier models with the kick-stand. When the stand is down, it trips a switch on the
circuit board, (see fig. 23). Moving the stand up/down/up will reset the breaker. On newer models, turning the
on/off switch on/off/on will reset the breaker, (see fig.’s 24 and 25).
