Controller replacement 

Undo the bottom of the seat spring / shock absorber from its bracket and 

hinge the front of the buggy forwards (NB you will need to remove the 

bag stand to make this possible); 

Remove both footplates from the buggy. Each is secured by three cross-

headed bolts; 

Remove the battery compartment cover, and disconnect the two block 

connectors for the charging points, and the two block connectors for the 

battery packs; 

Undo the four bodywork screws securing the front of the battery 

compartment, and remove the front section of the battery compartment; 

Disconnect the three block connectors adjacent to the controller which is 

situated underneath the main part of the body; 

Remove any cable ties securing the main motor feed wires from the 

controller (these are cables coloured blue and yellow, and connected to 

black and red cables going to the motor). NB make a note of which cable 

goes to which; 

Remove any insulating tape around these connections, and then undo 

the small nuts and bolts which connect the ring terminals 

Remove the four wing nuts and washers which secure the controller to 

the chassis; 

Remove any cable ties, and bend back any metal lugs which secure the 

battery connection / charging point harness to the chassis; 

Carefully remove the controller and its associated wiring from the buggy; 

Install the new controller into position, and secure using the wing nuts 

and washers; 

Feed the battery  / charging harness back into position, using cable ties 

as necessary; 

Re-connect the motor wires to the controller, and secure using nuts and 

bolts. It is important that these connections are tight. Re-insulate as 

necessary using insulating tape, and secure using cable ties. 

Re-connect the three block connectors; 

Replace the battery compartment front section, top cover, and 

footplates; 

Re-connect the charging points and batteries. You are likely to experience 

a large spark when you re-connect the first battery pack – this is quite 

normal; 

Lower the body, and replace the bolt at the bottom of the seat spring / 

shock absorber.
