Set Up (continued)
Connecting the Battery
When you connect the battery be sure the red button on the power switch/circuit breaker is pressed in
(this disengages the power to the unit,) and proceed with attaching the battery cables to the battery.
Be sure to attach the positive or red cable first. Then attach the black or negative cable.
NOTE
Use a 7/16" wrench to tighten them down.
After you have attached the cables, press the small black lever in on the power switch/circuit breaker, to
set the breaker and engage power to the unit. T he power switch/circuit breaker is designed to protect
the motor, drive nut, and wiring against damage from an overload of weight on the unit. O verloading
can be caused by operating the Lectro-Truck with too heavy of weight; or if there are an y shorts in the
wiring system. If the unit should become overloaded the power switch/circuit breaker will trip. In the
event that this should happen, let the wiring cool down, and then press the black lever in to reset the
breaker. When the power switch/circuit breaker is tripped, you will have absolutely no power to the unit.
NOTE
Never operate or engage the power switch/circuit breaker with the battery box lid open.
While standing behind the unit and with both hands firmly on the frame handles (not the side handles),
use the thumb on your left hand and press straight down on the "wheels up/load down" switch to see if
the wheels raise up. Next, using the thumb on your right hand, press straight down on the "wheels down/
load up" switch to lower the wheels back to the ground. You will only need to raise and lower the wheels
a couple of inches to determine if the "wheels up/load down" and "wheels down/load up" functions are
working.
If nothing happens when you press either switch, be sure to check if:
a. You have the power switch/circuit breaker engaged, (page 8).
b. The battery cables are hooked up properly and are tight.
c. You are pressing the operating switches straight down with sufficient effort to engage them.
d. The battery is fully charged.
Pages 9-10 in this manual have the proper procedures on how to charge your battery.
All Lectro-Truck models are checked and tested to ensure they are operating properly
NOTE
before leaving the factory. However, strange things happen during shipping - no matter
what precautions we may take. If your Lectro-Truck still does not operate after trying all
the above, contact our office at 1-800-619-0625, and ask for service.
