How to Troubleshoot an Amigo Scooter

Referred to by Amigo as power-operated vehicles (POVs), Amigo scooters provide indoor and outdoor transportation solutions for individuals of all sizes, including those over six feet tall or small individuals, and for those with larger frames or heavier weights. During the operation of your scooter, you may run into problems, some due to normal wear and tear. Once you know how to troubleshoot your Amigo scooter, you can feel increased security as you operate your vehicle and fully enjoy your freedom of movement.

Instructions

• 1

  Switch your scooter to the "Off" position if you must use a radio frequency (RF) device, such as a cell phone, citizen's band (CB) radio, two-way radio or a ham radio, or if someone nearby uses one. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from these devices affects the performance of your Amigo scooter, such as its braking and movement.

• 2

  Replace the battery charger if you see your battery indicator light flash with a 4-1 code. This means the indicator will flash four times, then hesitate and flash once more. This code tells you the battery charger has too much voltage -- 32 volts or higher. Locate the battery indicator light on the bottom of the Hi/Lo Speed Control Handle. Your Amigo battery charger has a two-year warranty against material defects.

  Turn your Amigo scooter "Off," then let it sit for 15 minutes if your it overheats. You will receive a 3-1 code on the battery indicator -- three flashes, a pause, and then one flash. Turn your scooter to the "On" position and see if the code clears. Locate the "On" or "Off" Key Extension/Key Switch on the right of the Handle Control Cover. If you still see the 3-1 code, you may need to have the microprocessing controller (MPC) replaced by contacting the Amigo Service Department.

  Unplug your Amigo scooter, then reconnect it when you see the battery indicator flash a 1-1 code, meaning one flash, a pause, then one more flash. This means there may be a short in the connections. You may also need to have the MPC replaced.
