VEHICLE CONTROLS
Key-Switch
A key-switch, located on the right center side of the instrument panel,
turns on the vehicle. Rotate the key clockwise to turn the vehicle power
on, counterclockwise to turn the vehicle power off.
The key-switch should be in the “OFF” position whenever the operator
leaves the vehicle.
This switch is also designed to secure and disable the vehicle. The key
can only be removed when the key-switch is in the “OFF” position.
Forward-Off-Reverse Switch
The forward-off-reverse switch, located on the right side of the instrument
panel, determines the direction of travel of the vehicle. Push the top of
the switch to engage the forward direction. Push the bottom of the switch
to engage the reverse direction.
DO NOT SWITCH from forward to reverse or vice-versa while the vehicle
is in motion. Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting.
The forward-off-reverse switch should be in the center “OFF” position,
with the key-switch off and the park brake set whenever the operator
leaves the vehicle.
Horn Switch
The horn switch is located on the right side of the instrument panel.
Depress the switch to sound the horn, release it to turn it off.
Headlight Switch
The headlight switch is located on the top left of the instrument panel.
Push the right side of the switch to turn the lights on. Push the left side
of the switch to turn the light off.
Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal is located to the right of the brake pedal. It controls
the speed of the vehicle and operates similar to the accelerator pedal in
an automobile. Depress the pedal to increase speed and release the pedal
to decrease speed.
The Smart View Display (SVD) functions as a Battery Status Indicator (BSI), Hour Meter (HM), speed
controller status monitor, and as an optional maintenance monitor feature. The operation of each of
these functions is listed below.
BSI: A bar graph representing the current state of charge is located across the top of the display. When
the batteries are fully charged, all segments of the bar graph will be on. As the batteries are used,
segments will turn off in the order of right to left.
When the batteries are discharged to 75%, the last three segments will flash indicating that you are
approaching the end of the battery cycle. At this time, the vehicle’s batteries should be charged as soon
as possible.
At 90%, all segments will flash and the vehicles speed will be reduced. At this time, the vehicle should be
removed from service for charging. Discharging beyond 90% will result in damage to the batteries that
will shorten the battery life-span.
HM: There are two hour meter functions, Key Hours and Run Time Hours.
Key Hours is the accumulated length of time in hours that the key switch is in the “ON” position.
Run Time Hours is the accumulated length of time that the vehicles has been in operation. Time is
accumulated when the FS-1 switch in the accelerator module is closed.
One of the Hours functions is being displayed whenever the either of the Hours Indicators are visible at
the right side of the display.
Steering
The steering wheel and steering system are similar to an automobile. To
turn right, turn the steering wheel clockwise. To turn left, turn the steering
wheel counter-clockwise. If equipped with tilt steering, the release lever
is located on the lower left of the steering column. Pull the lever up to
reposition the steering wheel.
Park Brake
The parking brake is actuated with a hand lever, which is located to the
right of the driver. To set the parking brake, push down on the brake
pedal and pull the lever up until it locks. To release the park brake, depress
the foot brake pedal, pull up on the park brake handle, push the release
button, and lower the handle.
Charger Interlock
The charger interlock is designed to disable the vehicle from being driven while the AC charger cord is
plugged into a functioning power source.
The seat interlock switch is only one part of the vehicle safety system.
The interlock switch should not be relied upon as the only safety
feature used to disable or disengage this vehicle. Doing so could result
in unexpected movement of the vehicle causing severe bodily injury
and/or property damage.

Cycle complete ON ON ON
Charging Time
Average charging time is 8 to 10-hours. The time required to fully charge your batteries will vary depending
on:
• Capacity of the batteries, higher capacity requires longer charge time.
• Output of the charger, higher output requires less charge time.
• Depth of discharge, the deeper a battery is discharged, the longer it takes to charge.
• Temperature, low temperatures require longer charge time.
It is not unusual for charge times to exceed 15-hours, especially with new batteries.
Do not discharge the batteries beyond a normal discharge as indicated on the BSI. Refer to Vehicle
Controls in this section for information on how to read the BSI.
Check the battery electrolyte once a week. Do not charge the batteries if the battery electrolyte is low.
Charging when the electrolyte is low will damage the batteries and shorten their life-span. Only authorized
personnel should perform battery maintenance including maintaining the battery electrolyte level. Refer
to Section Maintenance, Service and Repair for battery maintenance information.
Do not interrupt the charging cycle. When the charger is plugged in, allow it to turn off before disconnecting.
Interrupting the charging cycle could lead to overcharging or discharging the batteries too deep. Both
circumstances will shorten the life of the batteries.

7. Visually inspect the armature windings for burnt insulation. Burnt insulation is a direct result of
motor overheating and could lead to a shorted armature.
• If the insulation is cracked or burnt, then it is recommend that the armature or motor be
replaced.
NOTE: If the armature has been burnt then there is a good possibility that
the field windings may also be burnt. Symptoms indicating a shorted
field include high motor current, lack of power and possibly
excessive speed.
8. Using a growler, test the armature for shorts.
• If the armature is shorted, then we recommend that the armature or motor be replaced.
9. Using the continuity function of digital multi meter,
Hold this lead
check the continuity around the entire commutator

by placing one test lead against one of the
commutator segments and the other test lead Check each segment
against all of the other segments one at a time. all of the way around
There should be continuity around the entire the commutator
commutator. If any segment indicates an open
circuit, then the motor must be replaced.
10. Using the continuity function of digital multi meter,
check the continuity from any one of the
Commutator
commutator segments and the armature frame. If
it is not an open circuit, then the armature is shorted
and the motor must be replaced.
11. Measure the armature and field resistance (refer to Service Limits table at end of this section).
If the armature of field resistance is not within specification then the motor must be repaired or
replaced.

TEST #8.1
Read the motor field current on the Ammeter.
If the field current is greater than specified in the Motor Specification table (see Motor
Service section for specifications), then the Anti-Rolloff feature has failed. Check the
status of the Anti-Rolloff feature using the hand held calibrator (62-027-61).
TEST #8.2
While monitoring the motor field current, release the park brake, and push the vehicle.
The surface must be level for this test. Do not attempt to test the
Anti-Rolloff by pushing up or down an incline. Testing by pushing up
or down an incline could result in injury or property damage.
Within approximately 10-feet, the field current should rise dramatically and the vehicle should
become difficult to push. Now stop pushing the vehicle and allow it to come to a complete stop.
The field current should drop down below the value specified in the Motor Specification table.
This indicates that the Anti-Rolloff feature is operating normally.
If the current does not rise, then the Anti-Rolloff feature has failed or has been turned
off.
The status of the Anti-Rolloff feature can be checked with the hand held calibrator.
If the Anti-Rolloff feature is on and the field current did not rise, then the controller has
failed and must be replaced.
If the Anti-Rolloff feature is off then the controller logic must be reprogrammed. Contact
your dealer.

Description:
The electric motor brake is a 24-volt electromagnetic disc brake mounted between the drive motor
and the primary reduction gear case. The brake is controlled by the speed controller logic. At what
times the brake is applied or released is dependent on the controller programing and will vary
depending on the model vehicle.
Operation:
B+ is supplied to the brake when the key switch is turned on. When the control logic determines that
it is time to start, it provides B- at 24-volts through pin #9 on the logic card connector.
Sevcon Troubleshooting
Page 16
Electrical Troubleshooting
Connect a volt meter across the Violet/Black wire at the electric brake harness plug and Pin #9 at the logic
card connector. The voltage should start at approximately 24 volts, then drop to approximately 15 volts
after about 0.5 seconds.
If the test is good then:
• The blue wire from the electric brake harness plug to pin #9 on the logic card connector is
broken. Stop trouble shooting here and repair the problem. When the repair is completed,
completely retest the vehicle before lowering the drive wheels to the ground.
If the test is bad then:
• The logic card is not releasing the brake. This could be a result of:
-Improper operation of the vehicle.
- fault in the vehicles wiring or switches.
-A fault in the speed controller.
-Incorrect programming.
-A failed speed controller.
Disconnect the electric brake harness connector and connect the electric brake to a 24-volt source. This
should release the brake and allow you to troubleshoot the vehicles control system. Return to the beginning
of the troubleshooting section and continue.
If the brake does not release then:
• The electric brake has failed. Remove the brake and repair or replace the brake as required.
Stop trouble shooting here and repair the problem. When the repair is completed, completely
retest the vehicle before lowering the drive wheels to the ground.
After any repairs are made, completely retest This troubleshooting guide is written in
the vehicle before lowering the drive wheels to sequential order. All tests must be performed in

Electrical Troubleshooting
To test the charger to see if it is turning off correctly, monitor the battery
voltage and the electrolyte specific gravity during the charging cycle as
indicated below.
Specific Gravity
Using a hydrometer take the specific gravity reading of several cells, at 1 hour intervals while charging. If
the specific gravity of the electrolyte does not rise for three consecutive readings and the charger does not
shut off, then the charger is running too long.
Battery Voltage
Using an accurate 5-1/2 digit digital voltmeter, monitor the battery voltage during the charging cycle. Take
readings every 30 minutes. If the battery voltage does not increase 0.012 volts in two consecutive readings,
then the charger is running too long.
1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove the
key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
Make sure that these two wires do not come into electrical contact
with any other object.
6. Test the voltage from the red wire to the main battery negative. This voltage should
be equal to the battery voltage. If the voltage is less than the battery voltage, then
this wire is broken or has a bad connection. Stop here and repair the problem.
7. Test the voltage from the red 10 gauge wire (+) to the other 10 gauge wire (white
or black depending on model). This voltage should be equal to the battery voltage.
If the voltage is less than the battery voltage, then the white (or black) wire is
broken or has a bad connection. Stop here and repair the problem.
Slide the insulators back onto the connectors on the two 10 gauge wires.
Slide the insulators off the connectors on the two 14 gauge wires.
High Voltage. Do not touch the 14-gauge wires and make sure these
two wires do not come into electrical contact with any other object.
Failure to do so may result in serious bodily injury.
Capacitor
Fuse Links
High Voltage inside the charger. Do not touch any internal components
while the charger is plugged in. Failure to do so may result in serious
bodily injury.
• Test the voltage from the fuse assembly (-) to the diode block (+).
This voltage should be equal to the battery voltage. If the voltage
is less than the battery voltage, then the wires from the harness
connectors to the charger are bad. Stop here and repair the
problem.
• Test the voltage across the white and black wires that are connected to the timer board. This voltage
should be the same as the rated AC voltage of the charger. If the voltage is less than the rated AC
voltage of the charger, then the wires from the harness connectors to the charger are bad. Stop here
and repair the problem.
• If the timer relay does not pickup (click) when the AC source is connected, then the timer control circuit
or the relay is bad (refer to Timer Relay Test). Stop here and repair the problem.
• Test the AC voltage across the transformer primary circuit. The transformer primary consists of the two
solid wires with the brown fiber insulator that are connected to the timer board. This voltage should be
the same as the rated AC voltage of the charger. If the voltage is less than the rated AC voltage of the
charger, then the timer relay is bad. Stop here and repair the problem.
2. Test the voltage from the positive terminal on the DC receptacle to the negative
terminal on the DC receptacle. This voltage should be equal to the battery voltage.
If the voltage is less than the battery voltage, then the wire on the negative terminal
of the DC receptacle is broken or has a bad connection. Stop here and repair the
problem.
Capacitor Test
Fuse Links
High Voltage inside the charger. Do not touch any internal components
while the charger is plugged in. Failure to do so may result in serious
bodily injury.
• Test the voltage from the fuse assembly (-) to the diode block (+). This voltage should be equal to the
battery voltage. If the voltage is less than the battery voltage, then the DC cord is bad. Stop here and
repair the problem.
• Test the voltage across the white and black wires that are connected to the timer board. This voltage
should be the same as the rated AC voltage of the charger. If the voltage
is less than the rated AC voltage of the charger then the AC cord is
bad. Stop here and repair the problem.
• If the timer relay does not pickup (click) within 5 seconds of connecting
the DC charger plug, then the timer control circuit or the relay is bad
(refer to Timer Relay Test). Stop here and repair the problem.
• Test the AC voltage across the transformer primary circuit. This voltage
should be the same as the rated AC voltage of the charger. If it is less
than the rated AC voltage of the charger, then the timer relay is bad.
Stop here and repair the problem.
Transformer Secondary Circuit
• Test the AC voltage across the transformer secondary circuit. The voltage here will vary depending on
the state of charge in the batteries. The voltage should be between 208% and 250% of the rated DC
voltage of the charger. If the voltage is not between 208% and 250% of the charge’s rated DC voltage,
the transformer is bad and must be replaced. Stop here and repair the problem.
4. Disconnect the wires from the contact terminals on the timer relay.
5. Reconnect the batteries.
6. Wait 5 seconds, then test the continuity across the timer relay contact terminals.
• If this is a closed circuit, then the timer start up circuit is functioning normally.
• If there is an open circuit, then the timer relay has failed and the relay must be replaced.
1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove the
key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
5. Disconnect the main positive and negative cables at the batteries.
• If the DMM indicates an open circuit then the interlock relay is functioning normally.
®
Turn the Key switch OFF BEFORE
disconnecting the batteries. Disconnecting
the batteries with the key switch ON may
corrupt the controller programming
resulting in a fault code 1 (refer to fault
table).

NOTE: Charging time is limited to 18-hours (max). An error occurs if charging time exceeds 18-hours. See table
on previous page.
A charger could remain on for longer than 12 hours if:
• The vehicle is equipped with batteries larger than 220 Amp hour capacity.
• The charging cycle is interrupted at any time during the charging cycle.
• Defective batteries causing a fluctuating DC voltage that confuses the charger.
• One or more defective cells in the battery pack.
• A brownout (drop in AC line voltage) during the charging cycle.
• An electrically noisy charging environment.
A charger could turn off in less than 12 hours, but still show symptoms of overcharging if:
• The electrolyte in the batteries is too high (boil over).
• The electrolyte in the batteries is too low (excessive gassing or sulfur smell).
To test the charger to see if it is turning off correctly, monitor the battery voltage and charging current during
the charging cycle as indicated below.
Using a digit digital voltmeter and clamp on DC ammeter, monitor the battery voltage and current during the
charging cycle. The charging current should remain within 10% of the DC output current (see previous
page) until the battery voltage reaches 2.55 volts per cell. When the voltage reaches 2.55 volts per cell, the
charging current will drop significantly and slowly taper off (voltage will remain constant). The charger
should turn off within 2 to 4 hours after entering the second stage.
This charger is rated for 115 VAC or 230 VAC operation. When switching
from one input voltage to the other, wait until all three status LED’s
are off. Switching voltage when any of the LED’s are on will result in
damage to the charger.

Note: If only the 100% LED is flashing and all others are OFF then the charger has exceeded its maximum charging
time and shut off before the batteries were fully charged.
This could be a result of:

• Excessively discharged batteries
• Oversize batteries

* - In many cases fault 1 will only be displayed for a short amount of time and then the charger will attempt to restart.
Typically, the fault will repeat 8-times and then the charger will start the boot up process with the 50% light on. If the
charger cannot restart then the fault loop will start again, repeating the fault 1.
This fault could be a result of an open connection between the charger and batteries, an open connection on one or more
of the battery cables, or an open connection internal of the charger.
Before replacing the charger, confirm all battery wiring is good.
TROUBLESHOOTING
To test charger operation:
Connect a DC volt meter to the main battery positive and negative terminals.
Attach a clamp on DC Ammeter to one of the charger DC output wires.
Plug the charger into an AC outlet.
Wait for charger to start (up to15 seconds), the ammeter should display the DC Amp rating of the charger
(plus or minus 10%) indicating that the charger is on (constant current mode).
The ammeter should continue to display the DC Amp rating of the charger until the battery voltage equals
2.55 VPC. When the battery voltage equals 2.55 VPC the charger will switch to the constant voltage
mode. At this point the charging current will be reduced and will taper off until the batteries are fully
charged.
Perform the following if the charger does not turn on:
1. Make sure the key-switch is in the “OFF” position, then remove the
key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to prevent vehicle movement.
If both the AC and DC tests are good then the charger has failed. There are no internally serviceable
components in the charger. If the charger has failed then it must be replaced.
