⚠
Charge the battery ONLY with the supplied charger.
Batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision.
Always disconnect the charger before wiping down and/or cleaning the ATV.
The charger supplied with the ATV should be regularly examined for damage to the cord,
plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage, the ATV must not be
charged until it has been repaired or replaced.
Chargers have built-in over-charge protection to prevent the battery from being
overcharged.
Note: If the charger gets warm during regular use, this is a normal response and is no cause
for concern. If your charger does not get warm during use, it does not mean that it is not
working properly.
Ignition Switch / Alarm & Key Fob
Your Rosso eQuad Q can be turned on using 2different methods.
The ATV can be turned on manually by placing the key into the ignition switch (located on
the right side of the ATV) and turning it to the on position. Once turned on manually, the ATV
can ONLY be turned off by manually turning the key back to the off position.
The e Quad Q also features remote start/stop via the included fob. Once the ATV has turned
on remotely it can ONLY be turned off with the fob. To turn on the ATV remotely, press
either the “unlock” 🔓 or “power” ⚡ button on your fob. To turn the ATV off, press the
“lock” 🔒 button on the fob. To activate the alarm/horn press the 🔊 button.
Please note: The fob requires 1x CR2032 battery. (pre-installed)
To replace the fob battery first remove the key ring from the fob, then carefully, with a
small screwdriver, pry off the silver side pieces. Once they are removed the 2 halves of the
black fob body can be separated revealing the interior components and battery slot. Once a
new battery is installed, reassemble the fob in the reverse order.
Battery Level Indicator
The battery level indicator is located on the throttle handle on the right handlebar. The
lights indicate the current battery level (Max 100%, Mid 50%, Min 10%-needs charging) and
are also an easy way to tell if your ATV is turned on. If you turn your ATV off and the lights
do not turn off, it may indicate that it was started with the other method of power up.
(Manual keys vs Remote fob)

on the body between the rider’s legs, to the desired position. Turn the knob to off for
neutral. Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before changing gear, failing to do
so will result in damage to the switch.

Pre-Ride Checklist:
⚠
Brakes - Check the brakes for proper function. When you squeeze the lever, the brake
should provide positive braking action.
Tires – Check tires periodically. Inspect tires for excess wear and replace as needed.
(Please note riding on abrasive surfaces such as concrete or asphalt will increase tire
wear.) Regularly check the tire pressure and inflate as needed. Recommended tire
pressure is: 7 PSI. (Maximum: 20 PSI)
Frame and Handlebars - Check for loose, cracked or broken connections. Although
broken frames are rare, it is possible for an aggressive rider to run into a curb or object
and wreck, bend or break the frame.
Hardware - Check and secure all fasteners (nuts, bolts) before every ride. If the unit is
damaged, do not ride it.
⚠
Rider - Always wear proper protective gear, such as an approved safety helmet. Elbow
pads, knee pads, pants and long sleeves are recommended. Always wear closed toe shoes
and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system.
NEVER RIDE BAREFOOT OR IN SANDALS.
⚠
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations.
Maintenance:
⚠
MAKE SURE YOUR EQUAD Q IS PROPERLY TURNED OFF BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS
12

Brake adjustments
⚠
Failure to inspect and properly adjust brakes increases the risk of having an accident.
Riding with worn brake pads can reduce braking performance and cause an accident.
Check and adjust brakes if needed before each ride.
To adjust cable play on the left(rear) or right(front) brake levers – tighten/loosen adjuster
To adjust the calipers, loosen (do not remove completely) anchor nut(a) and pull brake
cable(c) until the brake pads are almost touching the rotor(b) (brake disc). Tighten the
anchor nut(a).
Wheel Alignment
In the event that your wheels aren’t straight the wheel alignment will need to be adjusted.
Start with your handlebars on the ATV pointed straight forward. Locate the tie rod on the
wheel to be straightened, the tie rod consists of a center rod and 2 ends. Each end is held to
the center rod with a securing nut(a). Loosen the securing nuts(a) on both the tie rod ends,
once both are loosened turn the center rod(b), this will turn your wheel in or out depending
on the direction it's turned. Once the wheel is straight and in the correct position re-tighten
the 2 securing nuts(a). This procedure is the same for both sides of the ATV.
13

Chain
Your ATV is chain driven and should be periodically lubricated with lithium spray. The chain
may make some clicking noises, this is normal. Always inspect, maintain or adjust the chain,
if necessary, before each ride. Riding with a chain in poor condition or one improperly
adjusted, can lead to serious injury. If you have a loose, wobbly or falling off chain, which
may happen over time from stretching with use, it will need to be tightened. Before
adjusting the chain, make sure the motor is cool. Do not touch the motor after use. The
motor will be, or can be, very hot.
To tighten your chain, first loosen, but don’t remove, the four nuts(a) securing the motor to
the frame. (2 in front and 2 in behind) Once loosened the tensioners located in front of the
motor can be adjusted to shift the motor forward tightening the chain. One at a time,
turning clockwise, tighten the nut(b) on each chain tensioner, ensuring to tighten each side
an equal amount. Adjust both tensioners equally until the chain is properly snug, do not over
tighten your chain. Once your adjustments are complete retighten the 4 nuts(a) you
previously loosened. Now is also a great time to lubricate your chain.
