NOTE: The number after each component refers to the components position in figure 8 on page 9.
Component: Circuit Breaker (1)
Location: Mounted on the Battery Pack. See #1 on figure 2.
Function: Protects battery circuit from current overload. When the current draw exceeds the breaker rating, the circuit
breaker will open.
Connections: The circuit breaker is connected to the positive (+) terminal on one battery and the negative (-) terminal on
the other.
Failure Signs: Opens repeatedly. May indicate failed circuit breaker or short in the wiring. May also open if the motors
are overloaded (from excessive weight, excessive uphill driving, etc).
Test: Measure the resistance across the circuit breaker and the wires that connect the circuit breaker to the batteries.
Expected reading: Less than 10 ohms.
Serviceable: Circuit breaker must be replaced with exact current rating.

Figure 2. Inside Battery Pack
Component: 12VDC Batteries (2 and 3)
Location: Inside the battery pack. See #2 and #3 on figure 2.
Function: Supply 24VDC to the motor and/or accessories (12VDC x 2).
Connections: Connected in series. The positive (+) terminal of one battery is connected to the negative (-) of the
other at the circuit breaker (1) and at the battery harness (4c and 4d). Refer to figure 8 on page 9.
Failure Signs: Batteries drain quickly. Scooter runs slowly or not at all. Batteries will not charge, but charger is
working properly. Beep Code #1 or #2.
Tests: Fully charge the batteries first and load test. Make sure charging system is working. See Battery Charging
Test. Make sure the contacts are not corroded. See figure 16 on page 13 for quarter test.
Expected Readings: 12 - 14VDC each when fully charged.
Serviceable: Replace batteries as necessary.
Component: Battery Harness (4)
Location: Inside the battery pack. See #4 on figure 2.
Function: Connects the batteries to the Power Harnesses (5). Provides over current protection from the battery
charger through a 3-amp inline fuse.
Connections: Connected to the power harness through 4a. Connected to the charger harness through 4b.
Connected to the batteries through 4c (+) and 4d (-). Refer to figure 8 on page 9.
Failure Signs: Corroded wires may cause the batteries not to work properly. Make sure connector pins are seated
properly. Batteries will not charge if the inline fuse is blown.
Tests: Test the harness for continuity. Test the fuse for continuity.
Expected Readings: Less than 10 ohms.
Serviceable: Replace the harness as necessary. Replace inline fuse with exact type and rating. See #5 on figure 2.
