chargeable battery and charger with another product.
• Explosion. Gases are created during charging. Charge the battery
in a well ventilated area. Do not charge the battery near heat or
ammable materials.
• Contact between the positive and negative terminals may result in
re or explosion. Avoid direct contact between the terminals. Pick-
ing up the battery by the wires or charger can cause damage to the
battery and may result in a re. Always pick up the battery by its

Maintenance
Battery Fuse
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 waiting for approximately ve minutes. If
the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal use, the vehicle may need repair.
DO NOT BYPASS THE FUSE - RISK OF FIRE. This may overload and damage
the electrical system.
Battery Fuse is located under the seat.
To avoid losing power, follow these guidelines:
• Do not overload the vehicle.
• Do not tow anything behind the vehicle.
• Do not drive up steep slopes.
• Do not drive into xed objects, which may cause the wheels to spin, causing the
motor to overheat.
• Do not drive in very hot weather, components may overheat.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to come in contact with the battery or other
electric components.
• Do not tamper with the electrical system. Doing so may create a short, causing
the fuse to trip.
Drive Battery
Only an adult who has read and understands the safety warnings should handle,
charge or recharge the battery. Failure to comply with all safety warnings may result
in serious injury or death.

Maintenance
Re-charge Interval and Time

before charging. Do not charge the battery if damage has occurred. Only replace with
the same type 6V rechargeable battery and charger supplied by the manufacturer.
• Only use the rechargeable battery (or equivalent replacement) and charger sup-
plied with your vehicle.
• Before rst use, charge battery 10 to 12 hours - never longer than 15 hours.

Drive Battery Replacement and Disposal
The drive battery will eventually lose the ability to hold a charge. Depending on the
amount of use, and varying conditions, the battery should operate for one to three
years. Follow these steps to replace and dispose the battery:
1. Remove the seat.
2. Disconnect the battery connectors.
3. Remove the metal battery bracket.
4. Carefully lift the battery.
• Depending on the condition of the battery (i.e.: leakage) you may want to wear
protective rubber gloves before removal.
• Do not lift the battery by its connectors or cables.
5. Place the dead battery in a plastic bag.
Important!
• The sealed lead-acid battery must be recycled or disposed of in an environmen-
tally sound manner.
• Do not dispose of battery in a re. The battery may explode or leak acid.
