PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Undercharged battery

Charger is not working

Tripped thermal fuse

Loose wire or loose connectors

Dead battery

Electrical switch damage

Motor damage

Loose wire or loose connectors

Tripped thermal fuse

Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged

for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the fi rst time.

After fi rst-time use, recharge the battery for at least 14 hours

after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

Check all connectors. Make sure the charger connector is plugged

into the battery, and that the charger is plugged into the wall.

Make sure power fl ow to the wall outlet is "ON" .

There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless you

have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with your

charger, contact Consumer Relation.

The built-in thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down operation of

the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions

too severe. Once a fuse has "tripped" , remove your foot from the

pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds before operating the

vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not

overload the vehicle by exceeding the 59 kg (130 lbs) maximum

weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not

drive up hills or run into fi xed objects, which can cause the wheels

to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors.

If a thermal fuse continually trips, contact Consumer Relations.

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor harness

connector is plugged into the battery, and that there are no loose

wires around the motors.

If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery Care

instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are unsure whether

or not the battery is dead, contact Consumer Relations.

The electrical switches can become corroded due to exposure to

water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.
