• Indicates that the motor control board is overloaded and overheated.
An overload can occur if you have been driving your Companion for an extended
period of time up an incline that is steeper than the recommended grade (see “Speci-
fications” on page 9).
An overload can occur if your Companion is carrying a payload that is higher then
the recommended weight capacity. See “Specifications” on page 9 for your Companion
model weight capacity.
An overload can also occur if your Companion’s tires are under inflated. Underinflated
tires cause the motor to draw large amounts of current. This high draw overheats
the motor control board.
Your scooter will not operate until the motor control board cools back to its opera-
tional temperature range.
Remedy:
Turn off your Companion’s key switch and allow the motor control board to cool
to its operational range.
Check the tire pressure. See section XI. “Care and maintenance.”
Have your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer perform a battery load
test.

“Assembly.”

If the above remedies do not solve the problem, contact your authorized Golden
Technologies, Inc. dealer.
