Possible causes
The possible causes of the Pukka
shutting off are
The Pukka has a PWM controller with
many safety features that keeps your
Pukka from having serious problems.
The controller may shut itself off
if the motor or controller is getting
too hot, such as would happen if you
are riding up a steep hill for an
extended period of time. It may also
shut off if the battery drops to a
low voltage level. The controller
will shut off to prevent the battery
from completely draining and damaging
the battery cells.
Resetting the
electrical system
To reset the electrical system of
your Pukka, turn the ignition key
to the OFF position and then to the
ON position.
Low battery
level
You may need to recharge the batteries
in your Pukka. Plug your charger into
the side charger port of your Pukka
and then plug the charger into an
electrical outlet. Be sure to align
the groove in the charger plug with
the notch in the side charger port.
The charger light will glow red if
the battery level is below 80 percent,
yellow/orange when above 80 percent,
and green when the battery level reaches
100 percent.
The battery charger light is green, but the
batteries are not charged.
The battery charger light won't turn green.
Damaged
battery cells
Occasionally, battery cells become
damaged and batteries cannot provide
the needed power. The Pukka's 12 volt
sealed lead acid batteries can be
check with a load tester. Most auto
parts dealers have the equipment to
test your batteries.
