ABOUT FUSES
Your vehicle is equipped with an overcurrent protector and fuse. 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 65 Ib (29.5 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.

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 65 Ibs 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.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Vehicle runs sluggishly
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.
Battery needs charging
Be sure to charge the battery after each use.
Vehicle is overloaded Make sure you do not overload the vehicle
by allowing more than one rider at one time, exceeding the 65 Ibs. maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, the fuse may “trip”, and automatically shut down operation of the vehicle for approximately 2 minutes. Correct the condition that lead to the overload and adjust the driving conditions to prevent repeated automatic shutdowns.
Driving conditions too stressful
Use only on level ground.
Sometimes the vehicle doesn’t run, but other times it does
Loose wire or connector
Check all wires around the motors and all connectors to make sure they are tight.
When the button is pressed, the vehicle won’t run without a push
Check all wires around the motors and all connectors to make sure they are tight.
The battery’s fuse constantly “trips”, but the vehicle is not overloaded and the driving conditions are not severe
Damaged battery Replace with new battery. Replace only with an
original 6 Volt (7 Amp/Hr.) battery. Do not use non-original substitute parts.
Charger gets warm during use
It is normal for some chargers to get warm during use and is not reason for concern
Some chargers do not get warm during use
No action required.
If your charger does not get warm during use, it does not mean that it is not working properly.
Battery makes a sizzling or gurgling noise when charging
It is normal for some batteries to make noise and swell slightly while charging and is not reason for concern
No action required.
If your battery does not make noise or swell slightly while charging, it does not mean that it is not working properly.
