ABOUT THE BUZZAROUND XL™ SERVICE GUIDE
This service guide provides you with the information necessary to troubleshoot the Golden Technologies Buzzaround XL
GB116/GB146. The troubleshooting scenarios in this manual consist of procedures that enable you to systematically trace
and correct faults in the system. Appendices A and B include instructions on how to measure voltage and continuity with
a multimeter. Appendix C includes a copy of figure 11 that may be printed separately. Appendix D contains flow charts of
the more complex troubleshooting procedures.
Before troubleshooting, check the following:
•
Make sure that the circuit breaker is reset.
• Visually check terminals for corrosion. Check wires for missing insulation.
• Make sure that the batteries are fully charged and are in good working order.
When possible, keep sets of
known good batteries of various ratings in your shop at all times. The Buzzaround XL uses either two (2) 12AH
or (2) 18AH batteries. Problems that surface during troubleshooting are often due to the fact that the batteries are
not fully charged or can not hold their charge.
•
Make sure that the electrical connections are secure.
Unplug the connectors and make sure all of the pins
are seated properly. Push the pins back into the connector housing if necessary. Make sure that the battery
terminals are tight.
NOTE: If you get to a point during troubleshooting where you cannot continue, call tech support at 800-624-6374.
