PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Vehicle runs in low speed, but
does not run in high speed.
Please note: The vehicle is
designed to operate in low
speed only in reverse.
High speed hook-up not disconnected.
The vehicle was pre-set to run only in low speed. To allow the
vehicle to run in low and high speed, you must connect the High
Speed connectors. Follow the instructions on page 18.

The high speed connectors must be joined to use the
high speed grip.
When the foot pedal is pressed
one rear wheel spins
Operation of vehicle in low speed
It is possible that only one rear wheel may spin when both rear
wheels are raised off the ground and the vehicle is in low speed.
This does not necessarily indicate a problem. Check for proper
operation of the drive system by raising the rear wheels off the
ground and pressing the foot pedal. If only one rear wheel spins,
carefully press your hand on the spinning wheel to slow it down.
The other rear wheel should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel
does not begin to spin, there may be a problem with the vehicle.
