Working fuse(replace)
slowly as a warning to recharge your batteries. If the 'speed
controller' detects a fault the green light will flash rapidly,
with the number of flashes indicating the nature of the fault.
For example, the controller will not operate if the speed
thumb lever (wig-wag) is not in the zero speed position with
the Scooter switched 'on'. Return the speed lever (Wig-Wag)
to the zero speed position, when the scooter will be allowed
to operate normally once again.
If your Scooter is turned 'on' but not operated for a set
period of time (15 minutes approx) the speed controller
system will automatically turn itself 'off' to conserve valuable
battery energy. It can be turned on again by turning the
on/off switch to 'off', and then to 'on' again.
Faults with the main speed controller are rare. Most faults on
powered vehicles are associated with wiring or
misconnections due to poor maintenance or incorrect
installation of connectors when assembling the Scooter after
transportation in a car.
If your Scooter should fail to operate you will be assisted in
diagnosis and locating the area of the fault by observing the
number of flashes emitted from the 'green' status light on
your control console (fig 10 page 10).
If your Scooter fails to operate and the green status light is
not illuminated, first check the points aforementioned under
'FAULT FINDING'.
If your green status indicator light is flashing, first switch your
Scooter to 'off' and back to 'on' again to see if the problem
will clear. If the 'status' light continues to flash and your
Scooter will not drive, refer to the 'STATUS FAULTS CODE'
on page and take the appropriate remedial action as advised
in the 'comments' column. If in doubt consult the dealer from
whom you purchased your
Scooter.
One fuses protect your Scooter charging circuit from
receiving an overload of electrical current. The fuse used in
the Scooter is the same type which is found on automobiles.
In the unlikely event that a fuse should 'blow' and needs
replacing (Fig 38) use only a fuse of a 10amp rating. Please
note this size of fuse has been selected to give your Scooter
the best protection without premature blowing.
Do not use fuses with a higher rating than 10amps
as this may cause permanent failure to the wiring and wiring
connectors or personal injury.
The 10amp fuses are located under the Scooter's rear
body cover (Fig 39). The fuse is positioned in a black
plastic housing which is sealed by a hinged lid.
