X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
IF YOUR Buzzaround XL™ DOES NOT OPERATE
• Make certain the freewheel lever is set to the engaged position. See page 20.
• Check the main circuit breaker. If necessary, reset the circuit breaker.
See figure 26 on page 33.
• Make certain that the speed adjustment dial is at the desired setting.
• Make certain that the key switch is set to the “On” position.
If none of the above procedures solve the problem, contact your authorized Golden
Technologies, Inc. dealer.
MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER
The main circuit breaker reset button is located on the battery pack. See figure 26 on page
33.
Do not attempt electrical repairs. Consult Golden Technologies, Inc. or your
authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer. If, for no apparent reason, your Buzzaround
XL stops operating, the main circuit breaker may have tripped.
Possible causes for the main circuit breaker to trip:
• Driving up a long, steep hill.
• Driving over a curb.
• Run-down batteries.
As you operate your Buzzaround XL, battery voltages go down and battery current must
rise to satisfy the demands of the motor and of other electrical devices operating on your
scooter. This can cause a heavy current draw that will trip the main circuit breaker.
Remedy:
• Recharge your Buzzaround XL’s batteries. See “Charger and Batteries” in this section of
this manual.
• If the problem continues, have your authorized Golden Technologies, Inc. dealer load test
the batteries.
• If the batteries are good, the charger may be the problem. Consult your authorized Golden
Technologies, Inc. dealer.
Resetting the Main Circuit Breaker
1. If the main circuit breaker trips as a result of run-down batteries or because of a
temporary overload, reset the circuit breaker:
2. Wait ten minutes or so for the motor control board to return to the normal operating
temperature range.
3. Make certain that the key switch is set to the “Off” position.
4. Press in on the main circuit breaker reset button. See figure 26 on page 33.
