Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the prob-
lems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems
occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer
hold a charge.
What if all the systems on my Dynamo seem to be “dead”?
n Make certain that the key is fully inserted in the key switch.
n Check that the batteries are fully charged. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
nMake certain that both battery harnesses are firmly connected to the electronic controller assembly and
to the battery terminals. See IX. “Disassembly and Assembly.”
n Make sure that the front-to-rear harness connector is firmly connected. See IX. “Disassembly and
Assembly.”
What if the motor runs but my Dynamo does not move?
n Your Dynamo was probably left in manual freewheel mode.
n When the manual freewheel lever is pushed rearward, the brakes are disengaged and all power to the
drive system is cut.
n Push the manual freewheel lever forward to restore normal operation to your Dynamo. See V. “Descrip-
tion.”
What if the battery condition meter dips way down and the motor surges or hesitates when I press
my Dynamo’s throttle control lever? See V. “Description.”
n Fully charge your Dynamo’s batteries. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
n Have your authorized Pride provider load test each battery.
n Or, battery load testers are available at most automotive parts stores.
ü Follow the directions supplied with the load tester.
ü See VI. “Batteries and Charging” or IV. “Specifications” for information about your Dynamo's
battery type.
If you experience any problems with your Dynamo that you are not able to solve, immediately contact
your authorized Pride provider for information, maintenance, and service.
