7.3 Overload protection - motor protection

The overload protection switches the drive off if the motor becomes overloaded by trying to climb over too high an obstacle such as a kerbstone, or if you try to climb too steep of an incline.

If the motor is overloaded, the following happens:

• the Strider becomes noticeably slower and then stops

• the control system switches the Strider off

Tipping hazard!

There is an increased tipping hazard if the incline is very steep.

• Try to get help from a second person when turning your scooter around.

T o rectify this:

Switch the scooter off and allow it to cool down for a few minutes. Switch the scooter on again and ... ... reverse away from the obstacle (such as kerbstone) and then

try again at a lower point.

... be careful turning the scooter around on inclines, and always

reverse away ver y slowly.

➨ ➨

Driving information

Accident hazard in push mode!

If the incline is too steep, there is a danger that you will not be able to hold onto the scooter and that it will roll down the incline uncontrolled.

• T ry to get help from a second person when turning your scooter round.

Determining the actual charging state:

Drive at a constant speed for about 200 m along a straight level route. The v alue sho wn by the displa y during the journey is the

actual battery charging state

➨

Important information about reading the battery charge display:

• If the scooter is at standstill, it is often the case that the battery charging state is shown higher than it actually is.

• The display can vary greatly while the vehicle is travelling (depending on load).

• If the vehicle is under heavier loading (for example heavy acceleration, driving up hills), the pointer can sometimes go to the red area of the display. This is not critical and does not indicate the

actual

charging state

of the batteries.

• If the pointer has gone into the red area of the display after the journey, it will often show green after the Strider has been turned off for a long period. This does not indicate the

actual charging state

of the batteries! If the pointer is in the red area of the display at the end of the journey, the batteries must be charged before continuing the journey. Disregarding this can lead to destruction of the batteries!

The Strider driving range is dependent on the following conditions in addition to battery charge:

- landscape conditions (level or steep)

- weight of user

- weather conditions (cold, rain)

- driving with headlights For this reason, information about the driving range is only given as a

guideline. The more experienced you are in using the Strider , the easier it will be for you to determine the driving range using the battery charging state.

NOT E

Please see the information about batteries in the Appendix.

7.4.2 Driving range

You will be able to achieve the best possible driving range if you:

• ensure that the tyres are inflated correctly

• avoid steep inclines as much as possible

• do not carry any unnecessary luggage

• drive at an even speed

• do not accelerate or brake unnecessarily .

The driving range will be decreased if you:

• drive with headlights

• drive in cold weather

• drive in hilly regions

Things to know

Batteries mostly discharged = more ch argin g c urre nt Batteries half discharged = decreased charging current Batteries fully charged = current to keep up battery charging When the batteries are full, only the current required for battery

charging flows, which means that battery overcharging is prevented.

The battery charger regulates the voltage (V olt) and the current (Ampere) from your mains connection down to the voltage required for charging y our batteries (24 V olt). The amount of charging current required is dependent on the charging state of the discharged batteries.

The entire power supply is taken over by two 12 V batteries. These are located below the motor cover under the seat. The batteries used in the Strider are known as batteries for cyclic use. Only enclosed maintenance-free deep cycle batteries are used.

Batteries

13.1 The battery charger - functioning principle

13.2.1 What are batteries for cyclic use?

Batteries for cyclic use are designed, in contrast to starter batteries as used in cars, so that they deliver continuous energy over a longer period of time and allow a considerable number of charging phases.

13.2.2 When do the batteries achieve their maximum performance?

Fixed cycle batteries achieve a maximum performance after four or five charging and discharging cycles. Only at this point is their internal chemical equilibrium achieved so that they can produce maximum performance and service life.

13.2.3 How do I make sure the batteries achieve their best service life?

• Always charge your batteries completely after use.

• Charge your batteries regularly .

• Only store completely charged batteries in the vehicle.

• Never inflate the tyres over the specified pressure.

Only use calibrated instruments to measure the air pressure in the tyres (such as are available at filling stations).

Screw the valve cap back on.➨

If you find any faults on your scooter during maintenance which are not covered b y the repair information, please contact your dealer . Always remove faulty scooters from operation and secure them against unauthorized use (remove key).

Check the brakes by driving slowly and then braking. Check that the lights and indicators are functioning correctly. Make a visual check of wheels and tyres for damage and loss of

pressure.

The following repair information should enable you to carry out small repairs on your vehicle y ourself. You should, howe ver , only carry out such work if you are used to working with the tools described here since it is impossible to fully prevent injury hazards when handling tools. If you are not sure, you should try to get help from a second person if possible or contact your dealer . In order to guarantee that all nuts and fixing screws are fitted tightly after repairs, you should ensure that these are tightened using the torque specified. You will find a list with the relevant torques in the Appendix.

Clamping and crushing hazard!

Pa y particular attention to hazards caused by clamping and crushing while carrying out any repair work. This applies particularly to all rotating and adjustable parts of the scooter such as around the steering wheels.

The Strider must be lifted in order to carry out certain work such as removing the wheels.

Before y ou lift the Strider, make sure you pre vent it rolling away b y wedging it securely.

Make sure the vehicle cannot fall down when raised by using suitable supports such as wooden blocks .

Always place the blocks under metal components such as frames, drive units.

Do not support the Strider by the plastic panelling!
