Battery & Diagnostics Indicator
◎
During the first half-second after the scooter is switched on, the central relay box
(controller) is performing important safety checks within itself and the rest of the
scooter's electrical system. Therefore, if you push the variable speed lever during
this time, you will not be able to drive until you have returned the variable speed lever
to the rest position. This condition is indicated by a rapid flashing.
◎
If a fault occurs and you have a scooter model fitted with a TruCharge (Battery &
Diagnostics Indicator) display, you can find out what has happened by counting the
number of bars that are flashing on the battery gauge. The information below gives an
overview of the fault types and a list of self-help actions. Try to use this list before
you contact your service agent. Go to the number in the list, which matches the
number of flashing bars, and follow the instructions.
