Overload protection - motor protection

The overload protection switches the drive off if the motor becomes
overloaded by trying to climb over too high an obstacle such as a
kerbstone, or if you try to climb too steep of an incline.
If the motor is overloaded, the following happens:
• the scooter becomes noticeably slower and then stops
• the control system switches the scooter off
To rectify this:
Switch the scooter off and allow it to cool down for a few minutes.
Switch the scooter on again and ...
... reverse away from the obstacle (such as kerbstone) and then
try again at a lower point.
... be careful turning the scooter around on inclines, and always
reverse away very slowly.
Tipping hazard!
There is an increased tipping hazard if the incline is very steep.
• Try to get help from a second person when turning your
scooter around.
Accident hazard in push mode!
If the incline is too steep, there is a danger that you will not
be able to hold onto the scooter and that it will roll down the
incline uncontrolled.
• Try to get help from a second person when turning your
scooter around.
