Charge the battery. A new battery should have been
charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for
the first time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for at
least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery
longer than 30 hours.
Check all connectors. Make sure the charger connector
is plugged into the battery, and that the charger is
plugged into the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is "ON".
There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless
you have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with
your charger, contact Consumer Relations.

fuse. A thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down operation of
the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving condi
tions too severe. The fuse will automatically reset itself after
approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to resume
normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns,
do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 23 kg (50 lb)
maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the
vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into fixed objects, which
can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still
being supplied to the motors. If a thermal fuse continually
trips, contact Consumer Relations.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor
harness connector is plugged into the battery and that
there are no loose wires around the motors.
If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery
Care instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are
unsure whether or not the battery is dead, contact
Consumer Relations.
The electrical switches can become corroded due to
exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt,
sand or gravel. Contact Consumer Relations.
