manufacturer.
3.8 Thermal fuses
To protect the motor against overload (steep inclines)
or when the voltage in the batteries becomes low,
your scooter have a thermal safety mechanism
.
The thermal fuse will automatically cut the motor to
prevent overheating and thus rapid wear and tear or
breakdowns. You can access the thermal safety
device through a gap in back of the synthetic cover.
For those models that have no synthetic cover, the
thermal safety mechanism will be located on the
battery boxes.
The thermal safety device can go loose if you go up or down slopes that exceed the maximum
gradient indicated. Nominal loads that exceed the maximum permitted could also cause the device to
jump out. Likewise, if you keep on driving with the engine brake on, it could result in overload. The
maximum values not to exceed are indicated in the chapter on “Technical Details” of the
corresponding manual.
To be able to use the scooter again, remove the overload and wait till the motor has cooled off. Then
gently press the thermal safety mechanism back in. Your scooter is now ready for use again.
3.9 Tip protectors
A tip protector
is fixed to the frame of the scooter
on the back side. It is thus not possible to remove it.
The tip protector is there for your safety. It prevents
the scooter from tipping over backward when you
drive over small obstacles that do NOT exceed the
maximum height specified.
