7.3 Overload protection - motor protection
The overload protection switches the drive off if the motor becomes overloaded
by trying to climb over too high an obstacle such as a kerbstone, or if you try to
climb too steep of an incline.
If the motor is overloaded, the following happens:
• the
scooter becomes noticeably slower and then stops
• the control system switches the
scooter off
To rectify this:
Switch the scooter off and allow it to cool down for a few minutes.
Switch the scooter on again and
•Reverse away from the obstacle (such as kerbstone) and then try again at
a lower point.
•Be careful turning the scooter around on inclines, and always reverse
away very slowly.
Tipping hazard!
There is an increased tipping hazard if the incline is very steep.

Accident hazard in push mode!
If the incline is too steep, there is a danger that you will not be able
to hold into the scooter and that it will roll down the incline
uncontrolled.
