type and voltage rechargeable battery and charger supplied by the manufacturer.
• Only use the rechargeable battery (or equivalent replacement) and charger supplied with
your vehicle.

• Once battery is depleted, recharge for 8 to 12 hours - never longer than 20 hours.
• Do not short circuit the battery: Do NOT connect red and black wires together or connect
positive and negative terminals on the battery together.
• When battery is fully charged, un-plug charger from the wall outlet and disconnect from

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 a short time. If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal
use, the vehicle may need repair.
WARNING:DO NOT BYPASS THE FUSE - RISK OF FIRE. This may overload
and damage the electrical system.
