Fast tip (codes, battery)
If your unit is beeping or flashing, start with Flash/Beep Codes. If it drives weakly or dies quickly, start with Battery & Charger Testing.
Quick Checks (90-second checks that solve a lot)
Tools: flashlight • small wrench/socket set • screwdrivers • a multimeter if possible. Take a quick photo before unplugging anything.
- Totally dead / won’t power on: check key/power switch → reset breaker → reseat battery connector → check for loose/corroded battery terminals.
- Powers on but won’t move: unplug charger → confirm freewheel is in DRIVE → cycle power with controls centered → check for code beeps/flashes.
- Cuts out / weak on hills / short range: do Battery & Charger Testing (voltage under load is the real test).
- Intermittent on bumps/turning: suspect a loose connector or pinched cable → see the device guide for wiring checks.
