result in overheating, fire or explosion. Never use the rechargeable
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 flammable
materials.
• Contact between the positive and negative terminals may result in fire
or explosion. Avoid direct contact between the terminals. Picking up the
battery by the wires or charger can cause damage to the battery and
may result in a fire. Always pick up the battery by its case or handles.
• Battery must be handled by adults only. Liquids on the battery may
cause fire or electric shock. Always keep all liquids away from the
battery and keep the battery dry.

injury. If contact or exposure occurs immediately call your physician. If
the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with cool water for 15
minutes. If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person
water or milk. Do not give water or milk if the patient is vomiting or has
a decreased level of alertness. Do not induce vomiting.
• Battery Posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds (acid), chemicals known to cause cancer, reproductive harm
and are toxic and corrosive. Never open the battery.
• Tampering or modifying the electric circuit system may case a shock,
fire or explosion and permanently damage the system. Exposed wiring
and circuitry in the charger may cause electric shock. Always keep the
charger housing closed.
Important! Before using the unit for the first time the battery needs to be charged for 8 to
12 hours - never longer than 20 hours, Only an adult who has read and understands the

General: The vehicle should be checked for
damage, missing or badly worn parts before
each use. If any part of the product does not
operate properly – discontinue use.
• Check the tightness of the fasteners before
each use. Replace any fasteners that are damaged.
• Inspect the product frequently. Failure to inspect the product and to make repairs or adjustments, as necessary, can result in injury to
the rider or to others. Make sure all parts are
correctly assembled and adjusted as written
in this manual and any “Special Instructions”.
• Immediately replace any damaged, missing,
or badly worn parts.
• Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened
as written in this manual and any “Special
Instructions”. Parts that are not tight enough
can be lost or operate poorly. Over tightened parts can be damaged. Make sure any
replacement fasteners are the correct size and
type.
• Check the tightness of the wheels:
Note: If the drive wheel is not tight, it will not
engage the gears and the vehicle will not run.
• Ensure the battery bracket is securely in place
before use.
• Store the vehicle indoors. Keep it away from
sources of heat, such as stoves and heaters.
• Keep the product clean and free of dirt, dust
and water. This will prolong the useful life of
the product.
• Clean the vehicle with a soft, dry cloth. To
restore shine to plastic parts, use a non-wax
furniture polish. Do not use automotive wax,
abrasive cleaners or wash the vehicle with
soap and water.
WARNING

the motor, electrical system and battery.
NOTE: If the instructions in this manual or any
“Special Instructions” are not sufficient for
you, please contact customer service.
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.
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 five minutes. If the thermal fuse trips
repeatedly during normal use, the vehicle may need repair.
Maintenance
Drive Battery
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 fixed 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.
