currie throttle can't handle the volts

Hey guys, My project scooter is a schwinn s-350, stock controller, stock diagnostic throttle from currie, and stock 24 volt motor, Got 3, 12v 12Ah batteries and I'm trying to run the thing at 36 volts but when I turn it on the lights on the throttle just blink and won't go anywyere, is there any way I can just bypass what seems to be that safety voltage level without buying a new throttle? thanks
