BASIC FAULT FINDING
If your Luggie will not start:
1. Check the power is 'on'. If it is, the battery condition
indicator meter will be operating. If the status light on
your console is flashing once per second, charge your
batteries.
If the battery condition meter and the status light fail to
operate when the switch is in the 'on' position, check the
following:
1. Make sure the battery charger is not plugged into the
battery pack charge socket, this will prevent drive.
2. Check the fuse: If your Luggie stops for no apparent
reason.
The battery condition indicator meter operates and the
status light flashes, your Luggie does not drive:
1. Check the status fault codes ( page 24 ) indicated by the
L.E.D. on your console flashing.
2. Check the freewheel lever is fully engaged.
If it is engaged you should not be able to push your
machine, if disengaged your status light will flash five times.
If your Luggie does not slow down or behaves erratically:
1. Switch off the power.
2. Inform your authorised Luggie dealer.
If you find for any reason your Luggie does not
reduce speed when you let go of the forward-reverse speed
lever ( Fig 8,page 8 ). Switch your Luggie off. The parking
brake will activate immediately and stop your Scooter.
Beware the scooter will stop very suddenly, brace yourself
with the handlebars, sit back in your seat.
This operation should only be carried out in an
emergency; continual use of this facility will damage the
drive transmission and motor brake.
The speed controller system incorporates a sophisticated
micro-processor design. It is located under the rear cover
of your Luggie. The in-built micro-controller continually
monitors the Luggie Scooter's systems to ensure safe and
reliable operation.

Warning :
The steering column locking system works on a 'cam' principle
to lock the column in the desired driving position. If you
notice the column is not firmly held when the black cam
operating lever is fully down, follow this procedure to readjust
the 'cam' tension:
1. Push steering column forward as far as it will go with the
locking lever released, ie. pushed upwards. Support
steering column.
2. Release the 'black' clamping lever down and test that the
tiller is tightly held in place; adjust 'clamp nut' until correct
tension is achieved on clamp plates.
Speed control system integrity.
Internal voltages and circuits.
Motor voltages and circuits.
Freewheel speed limiting downhill.
Battery v
oltage.
When the battery voltage is low, the 'status' indicator light
situated on the control console (a light positioned on the
power switch) will flash slowly as a warning to recharge your
batteries. If the 'speed controller' detects a fault the 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 switch '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 Luggie 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.
If your Luggie Scooter fails to operate and the status
light is not illuminated, first check the points abore mentioned
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
'STATUSFAULTS CODE' and take the appropriate remedial
action as advised in the 'comments' column. If in doubt
consult the dealer from whom you purchased your Luggie
Scooter.
