ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Your 12 volt battery is equipped with a built-in
thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a self-resetting safety
device which automatically trips and shuts down operation
of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving
conditions too severe. Once a fuse has tripped it will
automatically reset itself after approximately 10 seconds
and allow the vehicle to resume normal operations. To
avoid repeated automatic shut downs, do not overload
the vehicle by exceeding the 130 lbs.(59 kg) maximum
weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle.
Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up very
steep slopes or running into fixed objects, which can
cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still
being supplied to the motors.
