GENERAL INFORMATION
To properly service and maintain the V-Glide 36-volt vehicle, it is necessary to understand the electrical cir-
cuitry and the functions of all the electrical components
. On the V-Glide 36-volt vehi-
cle, there are three separate circuits: 1) the control circuit, 2) the power circuit, and 3) the charge circuit. A
reverse buzzer is also included on every vehicle.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS
There are three separate circuits which make up the electrical system of the V-Glide 36-volt vehicle:
•
Control circuit
•
Power circuit
•
Charge circuit
A reverse buzzer is also included on every vehicle.
CONTROL CIRCUIT
The control circuit consists of the following:
•
Key switch
•
Forward/Reverse anti-arcing limit switch
•
Accelerator pedal limit switch
•
Solenoid
•
Connecting wires
The key switch has two positions, ON and OFF, and is used to disable (open) the control circuit when the vehi-
cle is not in use. With the key in the OFF position, the vehicle will not operate.
The Forward/Reverse anti-arcing limit switch prevents arcing on the contacts of the Forward/Reverse switch.
When the vehicle is in NEUTRAL, the limit switch is open. The Forward/Reverse anti-arcing limit switch closes
only after full contact has been made on the Forward/Reverse switch. As the Forward/Reverse switch is dis-
engaged, the Forward/Reverse anti-arcing limit switch opens the power circuit by opening the control circuit
before the contacts are separated. By using the Forward/Reverse anti-arcing limit switch to control power to
the Forward/Reverse switch, arcing is prevented on the contacts of the Forward/Reverse switch.
