Check the wear and condition of the Contactors’ moving and fixed contacts.
Electrical Contacts should be checked every 3 months.
Check the Foot pedal or Tiller microswitch. Using a suitable test meter, confirm that
there is no electrical resistance between the contacts by measuring the volt drop be-

Microswitches should be checked every 3 months.
Check the Battery cables, cables to the chopper, and cables to the motor. Ensure the
insulation is sound and the connections are tight.
Cables should be checked every 3 months.
Check the mechanical operation of the pedal or tiller . Are the return springs ok. Do
the potentiometers wind up to their full or programmed level.
