Any electromechanical device requires occasional troubleshooting. However, most problems that arise can usually
be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not
fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.
DIAGNOSTIC BEEP CODES
The diagnostic beep codes for your scooter are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and
easily. A diagnostic beep code will sound in the event one of the conditions listed below develops.
NOTE: Your scooter will not run unless the beep code condition is resolved and the scooter has been
turned off, then turned back on.
