electric current drawn from the battery. It is a safety feature built in your

trip to prevent damage to the motor and the electronics. If the circuit
breaker trips, wait for approximately 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.
