# GeneSys Mid-Size: Brush motor will not run

## Systems to review that limit brush motor

### Low voltage cut off not allowing brush motor to run

- #### Review current battery level displayed on battery gauge
  
    - If batteries are depleted the brush motor will not run to indicate that batteries are critically low
