Free- Wheeling Lever
D. Electromagnetic Brakes:
Your power scooter comes with Electromagnetic Brakes., i.e. an automatic
magnetic disc safety brake which is also known as Fail-Safe brake. The electro-
magnetic Brakes are automatic and work when the power scooter is ON but in a
steady state (i.e. Wigwag is released to the neutral position), even when the scooter
is on a slope. The Electromagnetic Brakes will also be set whenever the power
scooter is OFF, but the motor levers are in the engaged (vertical) position.
Note: Please refer to the section titled to check brakes in the Maintenance & Repair
section in page 21 to make sure brakes are in good condition.
E. Thermal Protection:
Your power scooter controller is equipped with a safety system called thermal
rollback. A built-in circuit monitors the temperature of the controller and motors.
In case of excessive heat of the controller and motors, the controller will reduce
the speed of your power scooter to allow the electrical components to cool down.
Although your power scooter will resume its normal speed when the temperature
returns to a safe level, we recommend that you turn the power off and wait for 5
minutes before restarting to allow the components to cool down if you find that
you have lost speed suddenly.
F. Main Circuit Breaker:
The main circuit breaker reset button is located in the rear of the base frame after
removing the shroud.(See Fig 22 )
