Q: What if the battery indicator is operational but the status light flashes and
the Luggie is inoperable?
A1:
Check the status fault codes (page 37-38) indicated by the LED on your
power switch flashing.
A2:
Check to make sure that the magnetic brake release is not disengaged. If the
magnetic break release is disengaged, the status light on the power switch will
flash five times.
Q: What if my Luggie does not slow down or behave erratically?
A:
Switch off the power and contact your Authorized Luggie Dealer.
Warning :
If you find for any reason your Luggie does not reduce speed when you
let go of the wig wag lever (FIG 9, page 11), power off your Luggie. The parking brake
will activate immediately and stop your scooter. Be aware that the scooter will stop
very suddenly. Hold onto your handlebars and sit back in your seat.
Warning :
The above operation should only be carried out in an emergency;
continual use of this facility will damage the drive transmission and motor brake.
Inform your Authorized Luggie Dealer before using your scooter again.
Warning :
If you feel for any reason that your scooter is not driving correctly or
making unusual noise, stop using the scooter and contact your Authorized Luggie
Dealer.
SPEED CONTROL
The speed controller system incorporates a sophisticated microprocessor which
continually monitors the Luggie scooter's systems to ensure safe and reliable
operation. Safety conditions monitored by the speed control are listed below:
Speed control system integrity
Internal voltages and circuits
Motor voltages and circuits
Freewheel speed limiting downhill
Battery voltage
When the battery voltage is low, the 'status' indicator light situated on power switch
will flash slowly as a warning for you to recharge your batteries. If the 'speed
controller' detects a fault, the light will flash more rapidly, with the number of flashes
indicating the nature of the fault. If your scooter is switch 'on' but not operated for
a set period of time (15 minutes approximately) the speed controller system will
automatically turn itself 'off' to conserve valuable battery energy. This fault can be
cleared when you power off then power back on.
FAULT DIAGNOSIS
Faults with the main speed controller are rare. Most faults on powered scooter are
associated with wiring or bad connections due to poor maintenance or
