Onboard Battery Charger

The onboard battery charger converts household current (AC) to direct current (DC) and charges the batteries of your Sidekick. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

νThe charger is located on the utility tray. See figure 7.

νThe charger is a black-colored plastic box with a green and red LED indicator on the exterior of the case.

Batteries

The batteries store the electrical energy that powers your Sidekick. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

Electronic Controller Assembly

The electronic controller assembly is located behind the batteries and at the forward right corner of the Sidekick’s rear. See figure 7. This assembly receives electrical signals from the control console assembly controls and sends power to the motor, the brakes, and the lighting system (optional).

Do not expose the electronic controller assembly to moisture. In the event that the electronic controller assembly does become exposed to moisture, do not attempt to operate your Sidekick until the assembly has thoroughly dried.

Main Circuit Breaker

When the voltage in your Sidekick’s batteries becomes low or your Sidekick is heavily strained because of exces- sive loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your Sidekick’s motor and electronics from damage.
