THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERIES WHICH MUST BE RECYCLED IN ACCORDANCE TO YOUR LOCAL AND STATE LAWS. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS:

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

Occasionally use a lightweight oil to lubricate moving parts such as wheels and the steering linkages.

Park the vehicle indoors or cover it with a carpet to protect it from wet weather.

Keep the vehicle away from sources of heat, such as stoves and heaters. Plastic parts may melt.

ADULT S ONLY: Recharge the battery after each use. Recharge the battery at least once a month when the vehicle is not being used.

DO NOT wash the vehicle with a hose. DO NOT wash the vehicle with soap and water.

DO NOT drive the vehicle in rainy or snowy weather. Water will damage the motor,

electrical system, and battery.

Clean the vehicle with a soft, dry cloth. To restore shine to plastic parts, use a non wax furniture polish. DO NOT use car wax. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, or cleaners that contain ammonia or isopropyl alcohol.

DO NOT drive the vehicle in loose dirt, sand or ﬁne gravel, which could damage moving parts, motors or the electric system.

CAUTION: Charge the battery before storing your vehicle, otherwise the

battery will be damaged.

ABOUT FUSES

Your vehicle is equipped with overcurrent protector and fuses. The protector is a self-resetting safety device which automatically “trips” and shuts down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions are too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped,” SET THE POWER SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION AND DO NOT CONTINUOUSLY PUSH ON THE FOOT PEDAL. The fuse will automatically reset itself after approximately 2 minutes and allow the vehicle to resume normal operations. To avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 130 Ib (59 kg) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up slopes or running into ﬁxed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motor.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Possible Cause Solution

Vehicle does not run

Undercharged battery

Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the ﬁrst time. After ﬁrst-time use, recharge the battery for at least 12 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

Check all connectors. Make sure the battery connector is tightly plugged into the charger connector, and that the charger is plugged into the wall outlet.

Make sure that there is power ﬂow to the wall outlet.

Tripped fuse The fuse may “trip” and shut down operation

of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions are too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, set the power switch to the “OFF” position, release the foot pedal, and wait 2 minutes before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 130 Ib maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into ﬁxed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motor.

Electrical switch damage

The electrical switches can become corroded due to exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.
