V. DESCRIPTION
Onboard Battery Charger
The onboard battery charger converts household current (AC) to direct current (DC) and charges the batteries of
your Sidekick. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
n The charger is located on the utility tray. See figure 7.
n The charger is a black-colored plastic box with a green and red LED indicator on the exterior of the case.
Batteries
The batteries store the electrical energy that powers your Sidekick. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
Electronic Controller Assembly
The electronic controller assembly is located behind the batteries and at the forward right corner of the Sidekicks
rear. See figure 7. This assembly receives electrical signals from the control console assembly controls and sends
power to the motor, the brakes, and the lighting system (optional).
Do not expose the electronic controller assembly to moisture. In the event that the electronic controller assembly
does become exposed to moisture, do not attempt to operate your Sidekick until the assembly has thoroughly
dried.
Main Circuit Breaker
When the voltage in your Sidekicks batteries becomes low or your Sidekick is heavily strained because of exces-
sive loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your Sidekicks motor and electronics from
damage.
