Maintenance Repair and Service
GENERAL:
The vehicle should be checked
for damage, missing or badly worn parts
before each use. If any part of the product
does not operate properly – discontinue use.
• Check the tightness of the fasteners before
each use. Replace any fasteners that are
damaged.
• Inspect the product frequently. Failure to
inspect the product and to make repairs
or adjustments, as necessary, can result in
injury to the rider or to others. Make sure all
parts are correctly assembled and adjusted
as written in this manual and any “Special
Instructions”.
• Immediately replace any damaged, missing,
or badly worn parts.
• Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened
as written in this manual and any “Special
Instructions”. Parts that are not tight enough
can be lost or operate poorly. Over tightened
parts can be damaged. Make sure any
replacement fasteners are the correct size and
type.
• Check the tightness of the wheels:
NOTE:
If the drive wheel is not tight, it will not
engage the gears and the vehicle will not run.
• Ensure the battery bracket is securely in place
before use.
• Prolonged exposure to UV-rays, rain, and
outdoor elements may damage the enclosure
materials. Store the vehicle indoors when
not in use. Keep it away from sources of heat,
such as stoves and heaters.
• Keep the product clean and free of dirt, dust
and water. This will prolong the useful life of
the product.
• Clean the vehicle with a soft, dry cloth. To
restore shine to plastic parts, use a non-wax
furniture polish. Do not use automotive wax,
abrasive cleaners or wash the vehicle with
soap and water.
NOTE:
If the instructions in this manual or any
“Special Instructions” are not suffi cient for
you, please contact customer service.
CAUTION:
Self-locking nuts and other self-
locking devices may lose their eff ectiveness
when re-used.
Battery Storage and Disposal
The drive battery should be charged when
depleted, or if not used regularly, once a
month. Failure to charge the battery as
directed will cause permanent damage to the
battery and will void the warranty.
Follow these guidelines if the battery is
removed:
• Do not store battery in extreme hot or cold
temperatures.
• Wipe the battery clean with a dry cloth prior
to storage. Wash cloth separate from other
clothes.
BATTERY DISPOSAL:
• The sealed lead-acid battery must be recycled
or disposed of in an environmentally sound
manner.
• Do not dispose of battery in a fi re. The bat-
tery may explode or leak acid.
• Do not dispose of the battery in household
trash. The incineration, land fi lling or mixing
of sealed lead-acid batteries with household
trash is prohibited by law.
• Return an exhausted battery to a federal or
state approved lead-acid battery recycler,
such as a local seller of automotive batteries
(check local battery disposal regulations).
