Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Vehicle does
not run
Undercharged
battery
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 12 hours after
each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30
hours.
Check all connectors. Make sure the battery
connector is tightly plugged into the charger
connector, and that the charger is plugged into the
wall outlet.
Make sure that there is power flow to the wall
outlet.
Tripped fuse
The fuse may “trip” and shut down operation
of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or
the driving conditions are too severe. Once a
fuse has “tripped”, set the power switch to the
“OFF” position, release the foot pedal, and wait
2 minutes before operating the vehicle again.
To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do
not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 65 Ib
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
motor.
Electrical switch
damage
The electrical switches can become corroded due
to exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due
to loose dirt, sand or gravel.
Dead battery
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the
battery connector is tightly plugged into the
control module connector and that there are no
loose wires around the motor.
If your battery is old or if you have not followed
Battery Care instructions, your battery may be
dead. Replace only with an original 6 Volt (7 Amp/
Hr.) battery. Do not use non-original substitute
parts.
Motor damage
Visit the Dynacraft website and replace with a new
