FUSES
The fuses protect your FR 510-GDX lighting and
direction indicators (flashers) from receiving an
overload of electrical current. The fuses used in the
FR 510-GDX are the same type which are found on
automobiles. In the unlikely event that a fuse should
‘blow’ and need replacing ( see Fig 20, Page 31 ) use
only a fuse of a the same rating. Please note the size
of fuse has been selected to give your Scooter the best
protection without premature blowing
stops for no apparent reason, it is probably due
to the circuit breaker disconnecting from the
speed control electronic box (see Fig 19). On rare
occasions, a temporary overload on the electric
circuit can occur - for instance when climbing a
steep incline. If this happens, the circuit breaker
situated under the rear body cover will trip and all
power to your drive system will be automatically
switched off. Wait for approximately 60 seconds,
switch the circuit breaker to ‘on’ by entering a
finger through the access hole in the top of the rear
body cover (located under your seat) and press the
switch on. The battery gauge will light up and you
are now ready to drive again. (See Fig 26)

following:
1. Make sure the battery charger is not plugged into
the tiller charge socket, this will prevent drive.
