Troubleshooting Guide
PROBLEM: The vehicle does not run
- PROBLEM CAUSE: The battery may be low on power. After each use, or once a month minimum, charge the battery for 8-12 hours. Do not leave the battery on the charger for more than 20 hours.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Thermal fuse has tripped. The vehicle is equipped with a self-resetting fuse. When the vehicle is overloaded or operated incorrectly, the self-resetting fuse will be cut off for 5-20 seconds before becoming operational again. The self-resetting fuse is under the seat.
- To avoid the fuse cutting off the power, follow these guidelines:
- DO NOT overload the vehicle. Maximum weight allowed: 66 lbs.
- 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 tamper with the electric system. Doing so may create a short circuit, causing the fuse to trip.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Wheel nuts are loose. If the nuts are not tight, the wheels will not engage the forward gears. Tighten the nut with the nut wrench.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Battery connector or wires are loose. Make sure the battery connectors are firmly plugged into each other.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Battery is dead. Have you properly maintained the battery according to the directions? Is the battery old? Your battery may need to be replaced.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Electric system is damaged. Water may have corroded the system, or loose dirt, gravel, or sand might have jammed the switch.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Motor is damaged. The motor needs professional repair.
PROBLEM: The battery will not recharge.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Battery connector or adapter connector is loose. Make sure the battery connector and adapter connector are firmly plugged together.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Charger is not plugged in. Make sure the charger is plugged into the wall outlet and the power flow to the outlet is on.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Charger is not working. Is the charger warm while charging? If not, the charger may be broken and may need to be replaced.
PROBLEM: The vehicle does not run very long.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Battery may be undercharged. You may not be charging the battery long enough. After each use, or once a month minimum, charge the battery for 8 to 12 hours. Do not leave the battery on the charger for more than 20 hours.
- POSSIBLE CAUSE: Battery is old. The battery will eventually lose the ability to hold a charge. Depending on the amount of use and varying conditions, the battery should operate for one to three years. Replace the battery with a new one.
PROBLEM: Battery buzzes or gurgles when charging.
This is normal and not a cause for concern. It may also be silent when charging, which is also normal.
PROBLEM: Charger feels warm when recharging battery.
This is normal and not a cause for concern.
