Electromagnetic Brakes:
Your power scooter comes with an 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 brake in the Maintenance & Repair
section in page 18 to make sure brakes are in good condition.
D. 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,
the controller reduces the motor voltage and speed of the power wheelchair. The
reduction of the speed allows 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.
E. Main Circuit Breaker:
The PF6 main circuit breakers reset button located in the rear of the base frame
after taking out of the shroud.(See Fig 20 )
The main circuit breaker monitors the
electric current drawn from the battery.
It is a safety feature built in your power
scooter for your extra safety. When the
batteries and motors are heavily strained
(e.g., from excessive loads),the main
circuit breaker will trip to prevent damage
to the motor and the electronics. If the
circuit breaker trips, wait for approximate
one minute and then depress the button to reset it
Then turn on the controller power, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit
breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized dealer.
