Trouble Shooting
The following guide will help provide a logical sequence to quickly identify problematic areas of the
PowerBoard to facilitate repair. Always bear in mind that the majority of electrical symptoms are
actually the result of a problem with the chassis of the unit.
Before beginning the troubleshooting of the electrical system, inspect the following:
1. Tires - Make sure they are properly inflated. Check manufacture’s recommended tire pressure
listed on the side of the tire.
2. Wheels – Make sure that the wheel bearings are freely turning, and that neither the front or
rear wheel is making contact with the chassis as to prevent it from easily rotating.
3. Final Drive – check to ensure that the chain is properly adjusted and not excessively worn.
Sprockets should also be inspected, (see page 10).
Any factor that creates friction or drag to the chassis will result in lack-luster performance that can
appear to be electrical. Other issues that can present themselves as electrical problems are operator
usage. If the unit is used in very hilly areas, in excessive temperatures, or with an individual who is
very heavy – then the battery capacity will be depleted much faster than in normal operating
conditions.
