If Your Golden Eagle Does Not Operate - Golden Eagle GR595 Owner's Manual

IF YOUR Golden Eagle 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 20.
• 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. provider.
MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER
The main circuit breaker reset button is located on the left-side of the rear shroud just in
front of the rear wheel. See figure 20.
WARNING! Do not attempt electrical repairs.
Consult Golden Technologies, Inc. or your authorized
Golden Technologies, Inc. provider. If, for no apparent
reason, your Golden Eagle stops operating, the main circuit
breaker may have tripped.
Possible causes for the main circuit breaker to trip:
• Driving up a long, steep hill.
• Driving over a curb.
• Low tire pressure. See proper tire inflation on page 33.
• Run-down batteries.
As you operate your Golden Eagle, 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 Golden Eagle's batteries. See "Batteries and Charging" on page 31.
• If the problem continues, have your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. provider load
test the batteries.
• If the batteries are good, the charger may be the problem. Consult your authorized
Golden Technologies, Inc. provider.
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 20.
If the main circuit breaker continues to trip, there is probably an
underlying electrical fault that needs attention.
• Contact your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. provider.
• Do not keep resetting the main circuit breaker without correcting the underlying
electrical problem.
