Companion 27
The diagnostics feature of your Golden
Companion’s “Rhino” microprocessor-
based motor control board functions as
follows:
• Any fault condition on the “Rhino”
controller or on an associated system
will cause the Power-on/diagnostics
LED (see figure 43) to flash.
• The flashing of the LED occurs as one
flash or as a series of flashes separated
by a two-second pause.
• The number of flashes in each series
is referred to as the “Flash Code.”
• The flash code indicates the nature of
the condition or fault.
THE FLASH CODES
1 Flash
• Indicates that the battery voltage (with
the thumb levers in the neutral posi-
tion) is below 23.3 volts.

erate until the voltage falls to 17.5
volts.
• As the voltage drops you will experi-
ence a power loss.
Remedy: Charge your Companion’s bat-
teries. See section XI. “Care
