each use. If any part of the product does not
operate properly – discontinue use.

• Check the tightness of the fasteners before

each use. Replace any fasteners that are dam­aged.

• Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened

as written in this manual and any “Special
Instructions”. Parts that are not tight enough
can be lost or operate poorly. Over tight­ened parts can be damaged. Make sure any
replacement fasteners are the correct size and
type.

• Check the tightness of the wheels:

Note: If the drive wheel is not tight, it will not
engage the gears and the vehicle will not run.

• Ensure the battery bracket is securely in place
before use.

• Store the vehicle indoors. Keep it away from
sources of heat, such as stoves and heaters.

• Keep the product clean and free of dirt, dust
and water. This will prolong the useful life of

recharge the battery. Failure to comply with all safety warnings may result in serious injury
or death.

Battery Re-charge Interval and Time

IMPORTANT!

Check the drive battery and charger (supply cord, connector) for wear and damage before
charging. Do not charge the battery if damage has occurred. Only replace with the same
type and voltage rechargeable battery and charger supplied by the manufacturer.

• Only use the rechargeable battery (or equivalent replacement) and charger supplied with
your vehicle.

• Before  rst use, charge battery 8 to 12 hours - never longer than 20 hours.

• Once battery is depleted, recharge for 8 to 12 hours - never longer than 20 hours.

• Do not short circuit the battery: Do NOT connect red and black wires together or connect
positive and negative terminals on the battery together.

charger port.

The drive battery should be charged when depleted, or if not used regularly, once a month.
Failure to charge the battery as directed will cause permanent damage to the battery and
will void the warranty.

The drive motor circuit features a thermal fuse that will automatically trip and cut all power
to the vehicle if the motor, electric system or battery is overloaded. The fuse will reset and
power will be restored after a short time. If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal
use, the vehicle may need repair.

WARNING:DO NOT BYPASS THE FUSE - RISK OF FIRE. This may overload

and damage the electrical system.
