X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE 

IF YOUR Patriot™ DOES NOT OPERATE 

• Make certain the freewheel lever is set to the engaged position. See page 20. 

• Check the main circuit breaker. If necessary, reset the circuit breaker. See figure 19. 
• Make certain that the speed adjustment dial is at the desired setting. 
• Make certain that the key switch is set to the “On” position. 
 If none of the above procedures solve the problem, contact your authorized Golden    

 Technologies, Inc. dealer. 

MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER 

The main circuit breaker reset button is located under the 

seat in front of the battery cover. See figure 19.

        WARNING! 

Do not attempt electrical repairs. 

         Consult Golden Technologies, Inc. or your authorized 
         Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer. If, for no apparent 
         reason, your Patriot stops operating, the main circuit 
         breaker may have tripped. 

Possible causes for the main circuit breaker to trip: 

• Driving up a long, steep hill.

                                             Figure 19. Circuit Breaker

• Driving over a curb. 
• Run-down batteries.

  As you operate your Patriot, battery voltages go down and battery current must rise to 
satisfy the demands of the motor and of other electrical devices operating on your scooter. 
This can cause a heavy current draw that will trip the main circuit breaker. 

Remedy: 

• Recharge your Patriot’s batteries. See “Batteries and Charging” on page 31. 
• If the problem continues, have your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer load test   
the batteries. 
• If the batteries are good, the charger may be the problem. Consult your authorized Golden   

Technologies, Inc. dealer. 

Resetting the Main Circuit Breaker 

1. If the main circuit breaker trips as a result of run-down batteries or because of a     

temporary overload, reset the circuit breaker: 
2. Wait ten minutes or so for the motor control board to return to the normal operating   
temperature range. 
3. Make certain that the key switch is set to the “Off” position. 

4. Press in on the main circuit breaker reset button. See figure 19. 

 If the main circuit breaker continues to trip, there is probably an underlying 

electrical fault that needs attention. 
• Contact your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer. 
• Do not keep resetting the main circuit breaker without correcting the underlying electrical   

problem.
