BATTERIES

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

ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER MODULE

The electronic controller module is located behind the batteries and at the forward left corner of the Boxster’s rear section. This module receives electrical signals from the control console assembly controls and sends power to the motor, the brakes, the light, and the lighting system.

MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER

When the voltage in your Boxster’s batteries becomes low or your Boxster is heavily strained because of excessive loads or steep inclines, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect your Boxster’s motor and electronics from damage.The main circuit breaker is mounted on the rear section of the Boxster, near the manual freewheel lever. See figure 7.

νThe main circuit breaker reset button pops out when the breaker trips.

νWhen the breaker trips, the entire electrical system of your Boxster is shut down.

νAllow a minute or so for your Boxster’s electronics to “rest.”

νPush in the reset button to reset the breaker.

νIf the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge your batteries more often. You may also need to have your Boxster provider perform a load test on your Boxster’s batteries.

νIf the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see your authorized Pride provider for service.

MANUAL FREEWHEEL LEVER

Whenever you need or want to push your Boxster for short distances, you can put it in manual freewheel mode.

WARNING! Before placing your Boxster into or taking it out of freewheel mode, make certain that the key is removed from the key switch. Even though the motor of your Boxster is disengaged from the drive system when your PMV is put in manual freewheel mode, the motor can still run if the throttle lever is pushed. Never sit on a PMV when it is in freewheel mode. Never put a PMV in freewheel mode on any incline.

νThe manual freewheel lever is located on the end of the motor/transaxle assembly at the right rear of the Boxster. See figure 7.

νPull up on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system.

νYou will then be able to push your Boxster.

νPush down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive system and the brake system and to take your Boxster out of freewheel mode.

MOTOR/TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY

The motor/transaxle assembly consists of a geared transmission and differential. This one piece, direct drive, fully sealed assembly provides quiet operation with maximum power and long life. See figure 7.

ANTI-TIP WHEELS

The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your Boxster. Do not, under any circum- stances, remove the anti-tip wheels from your Boxster. See figure 7.
