Replacing your CRICKET Graasshopper Batteries
NOTE: Batteries are hermetically sealed and require NO MAINTENANCE for the life of the
battery. No acid. No acid odor. No leakage
1. To remove battery cover, unhinge two latches at front of engine compartment (beneath the front
portion of the seat) and slowly, carefully slide the cover forward to reveal both batteries.
2. Use 13mm wrench or pliers to turn bolts counterclockwise to loosen and remove batteries with
built-in, convenient rope handles. Use Caution not to “short” batteries with the wrench when
disconnecting or connecting the battery terminal leads.
3. Install new batteries by reversing procedure in step 1, above. (Replace and secure cover.)
Operating the Convertible Rear Passenger Seat
To convert your rear seat into the rear cargo carrier for a non-passenger load-carrying capacity, simply
grab the rear frame of the rear passenger seat and flip it toward the rear and down.
Adjusting Chassis Rigidity for Heavy Loads or Rough Terrain
Your fully assembled Grasshopper is delivered with the chassis secured in a safe, yet somewhat
flexible chassis configuration--basically perfect for normal, everyday operating conditions.
If you should need to haul a heavier payload (up to 1000 pounds maximum) or drive your SW3 over
moderately rough terrain, you may elect to tighten the two under-chassis frame bolts (shown here, to
your right) to provide a more rigid, firmer ride.
1. Use a 17mm wrench (or an adjustable wrench) to turn nuts on both bolts clockwise until they fit
snugly---but not too tightly.
2. To return chassis rigidity to normal operating configuration, simply turn the nuts on both bolts
counterclockwise until both return to their original position on the bolt.
NOTE: Whenever there is any doubt whatsoever about anything involved with the
operation, maintenance, and safe operation of your CRICKET Grasshopper, always
