My Pukka won't go very fast

 


 

Possible Causes

The possible causes of the Pukka not having power are

  • Parental Speed Control (PSC)
  • low battery level

Check Parental Speed Control (PSC)

You may need to turn the PSC switch from SLOW to FAST mode to have the Pukka reach its top speed. Check the PSC switch to see what speed it is set to.

If the PSC switch is set to FAST and your Pukka still runs slow, the PSC may not be functioning properly. To check whether the PSC is functioning properly, you can hotwire the connection.

IMPORTANT  Remove the chain from your Pukka to avoid injury to you or damage to your Pukka.

 

Remove the battery cover by loosening the bolts on the bottom of the battery tray.

Disconnect the PSC connector (brown wires) from the PWM controller.

 

With the chain removed from the sprockets, turn the ignition key to the ON position. Connect the brown hotwire plug from your Pukka Troubleshooting Kit to the PSC connector of the controller. Turn the throttle. If the motor runs faster, the PSC switch may not be working properly.

 

Check for 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.
