Safety Overload Switch; Battery Charging; A Guide To Safe And Lasting Batteries - TGA BREEZE S Operating Instructions And Owner's Handbook

Safety overload switch

The Breeze is protected electrically and
electronically by 2 overload switches. They
are designed to pop out should an overload
or serious electronic fault occur. Possible
examples that could cause the overload
switch to activate could be: steep or very
long slope or high kerb causing overloading
and overheating or possible accident
damage.
One of the switches covers the charging
circuit and the other covers the drive circuit.
These are located between the left-hand
rear wheel and the battery cover. Should
these switches become activated for
whatever reason it will cause a complete
electrical shutdown and the parking brake
will come on. Switch off, allow a few minutes
and push the button in to reset. If it will
not reset, leave a few more minutes and
try again. If it refuses to reset, get in touch
with your dealer. Never attempt to hold the
button in by any other means. If your Breeze
will not charge, switch off, allow a few
minutes and reset. If it will not reset, follow
the instructions above.

Battery charging

The battery charger supplied is specific to
your Breeze so it may not be suitable for any
other powered mobility product. Only use
the charger supplied with your Breeze as
other makes of chargers may permanently
damage your batteries and would void the
warranty.
To charge your batteries follow these simple
steps:
• Switch OFF your Breeze and remove the
key.
• Plug the charger lead into the socket
located on the rear of the tiller. Plugging the
charger into the Breeze automatically cuts
all power to the electronics and the scooter
cannot be driven.
• Push the plug from the charger into a
suitable mains power wall outlet and switch
on.
• The red light will come on for 'mains on' as
will an amber light indicating the battery is
charging. Green will light when the batteries
are fully charged.
• When the batteries reach their charged
state, the charger will automatically stop
charging. The lights will, however, still be on
but the batteries cannot overcharge.
• To get out of trouble the batteries can be
put on charge for a short period of time, but
it is always best to go through a complete
charge cycle each time. Excessive short
period charging will reduce battery life.
• Depending on the depth of the discharge,
the time taken to recharge serviceable
batteries fully will vary up to 12 hours.
Please note this time may increase as
batteries age. During periods without use
(perhaps in winter) it is very important to
charge the batteries every 4 weeks.
WARNING!
• Do not smoke or use a naked
flame while your batteries are being
charged.
• Do not use the charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped
or otherwise misused in any way. Take
it to a qualified technician.
Guide to safe and lasting
batteries
• For longest life, your batteries should be
recharged ideally after each use. Refer to
the battery maintenance guide supplied
with your Breeze (available from TGA).
• If your Breeze is not used for a while,
the batteries should be recharged every
4 weeks. Never leave your batteries in a
discharged condition. This is particularity
important to sealed batteries such as the
type in your Breeze.
• If your Breeze is to be stored away for
some time, ensure the batteries are fully
charged before storing and recharged every
4 weeks. Fully charge the batteries before
reusing.
• Every 6 months, check the connections
on the batteries, ensure they are tight and
clean.
