5.2 The operation and maintenance of charger 

Note:

 As standard configuration, the charger is built into the vehicle; in some cases, it may not be built into 

the vehicle. If it’s built into the vehicle, the position of the charger is either under the seats or behind the 
front body. 

The procedure to use the charger (when the charger is built in the vehicle). 

1.  Connect the cord to the receptacle on the vehicle; 
2.  Connect the cord to the receptacle to the outlet of household grid. 
3.  After  the  charger  cord  is  connected,  the  red  indicator  on  the  charger  will  flash,  charger  starts  the 

procedure of self-inspection, after self-inspection, green indicator flashes, and charger starts to charge 
the batteries. 

4.  When battery capacity is less than 80%, the green indicator flashes slowly. When battery capacity is 

more than 80%, the green indicator flashes fast. When the battery is fully charged, the green indicator 
will stop flashing and always be on and the charger will stop charging automatically. 

Note:

  This  charger  has  the  function  of  over-discharging  protection  to  protect  the  battery  from 

over-discharging. When battery is close to the charging point, it will reduce the discharging current from the 
battery  to  reduce  the speed  of  the vehicle,  if  it fails  to charge  the  battery,  it  will  cut  the current from the 
battery and stop the vehicle to force user to charge the battery. 

Note:

 When the grid voltage is out of range of 90-260V, the charger will stop charging to protect itself, at 

the  same  time,  the  failure  code  light  will  be  on  to  remind  users.  When  the  voltage  returns  back  to  the 
requested voltage range of 90-260V, it will automatically start to charge. 

Caution! 

Do not use charger if there is water in it. 

Caution! 

Use the charger when the environment temperature is between -10

 to +45

   

WARNING! 

Only qualified electrician is allowed to open the housing of the charger. 

WARNING! 

When charging the batteries, hydrogen will be generated, so it’s important to keep the charging area in safe 

and dry room with good ventilation; and also to avoid fire and spark. 

 

 
5.3 Maintenance of the Traction DC Motor 

WARNING! 

Check to make sure there is no explosive gas vapor in the air, otherwise, it may cause 

severe injury and damage to your body and property if the explosive gas vapor contacts the sparks 

generated from the motor. 

1)

  For DC motor, the carbon brush should be checked every 3 months to see if it is worn or not as it is an 

easily worn part. If it is not replaced in time before it wears out, it will badly damage the motor. 

2)

  Do not keep the motor running idle for long periods of time. Any idle running of the motor should be 

avoided. 

3)

  Removal of mud, sand and other clinging objects should be done frequently to keep unit from 

overheating. 

4)

  Periodically use low pressure air to remove the dust from the carbon brush and the commutator. 

Periodically check the connection of the carbon brush and the commutator.   

 

 

 

 

Main malfunction symptoms and possible causes of DC motor 

Item  Symptoms 

Possible Causes 

All copper plates turn black. 

The pressure of the brush is incorrect. 

The commutating copper 

turns black in a certain order 

and in groups. 

Short circuit happens between the commutating copper or among 

the armature coil; poor welding or disconnection happens between 

the commutating copper and the armature coil. 

The commutating copper 

turns black disorderly. 

The central line of the commutator deviates or its surface is not 

round and not smooth.
