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.
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 motor. In case of excessive heat of the controller and motor, the
controller will cut-off the power 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 to wait for 5 minutes
before restarting to allow the components to cool down.
Main Circuit Breaker:
The main circuit breaker reset button is located on the top of the battery box.
Circuit Breaker
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 motor 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, turn off the scooter and wait for approximately one minute and then depress the button to reset it.
Then turn on the scooter, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly,
this indicates a fault so contact your authorized dealer.
