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 electri-
cal 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 elec-
tric 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.
