first-time use, recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the charger connector
is plugged into the battery, and that the charger is plugged into
the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is "ON".
Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours. If you suspect
that your battery is damaged as a result of overcharging, contact

forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on vehicle
use and use conditions. Replace the battery with a new

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 fixed 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.
