Notes:
• The batteries cannot be charged if they have discharged almost to zero voltage.
• Always charge the batteries in a well-ventilated place.
• The battery charger is only for internal use. Protect it against humidity.
• To obtain maximum performance, it is recommended to replace both batteries
simultaneously when they are discharged.
• All batteries slowly lose their energy charge if they are not used for long periods.
After 3 months of non-use, a loss of charge of approximately 10% can occur.
Therefore, in the case of an expected long period of non-use, it is recommended to fully
recharge the batteries for at least 10 hours once a month and immediately afterwards
disconnect them, so that they are not connected to the motor/control unit.
17.7 If the scooter does not work
• Check that the wheel unlocking lever is in the locked position;
• Check the automatic main switch. Reset the automatic switch if necessary;
• Check that the speed selector is set to the desired mode;
• Check that the ignition is in the "On" position.
If none of the above procedures solves the problem, contact an authorised retailer.
AUTOMATIC MAIN SWITCH
WARNING!
Do not attempt to carry out do-it-yourself electrical repairs. Consult your local retailer.
If the scooter should stop working, for no apparent reason, it could be that the automatic main
switch has tripped.
POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THE AUTOMATIC MAIN SWITCH TRIPPING
• Driving on a steep incline;
• Overtaking on a pavement;
• Depleted batteries;
• Exceeding the maximum weight capacity.
When you switch on the scooter, the battery voltage decreases and the battery current increases
to satisfy the needs of the engine or the other electrical devices on the scooter. This could result
in heavy absorption of electric current that causes the automatic main switch to trip.
Solutions:
• Charge the scooter batteries. Consult chapter 16.5 (Battery and charging) of this manual;
• If the problem persists, contact your authorised retailer to carry out a battery charging test;
• If the batteries are working properly, the problem could be the battery charger. Contact your
authorised retailer.
RESTARTING THE AUTOMATIC MAIN SWITCH.
•
If the automatic main switch trips due to the batteries being depleted or due to a temporary
overload, restart the automatic main switch;
•
Wait 10 minutes for the engine control panel to start operating again;
•
Check that the ignition is in the "Off" position;
•
Press the restart button on the automatic main switch.
NOTE:
If the automatic main switch continues to trip, there is probably a basic electrical fault
that requires repair by qualified personnel.
