Problem
Short run time
(Less than 1-3 hours
per charge)
Possible Cause
Tripped thermal fuse
Undercharged battery
Overcharged battery
Battery is old and will not
accept full charge
Tripped thermal fuse
Solution
The built-in thermal fuse may “trip” and shut
down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle
is overloaded or the driving conditions too
severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, release
the button on the handle and wait 25
seconds before operating the vehicle again.
To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do
not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 40
Ibs 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.
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 wires and connectors. Make sure
the battery connector is tightly plugged into
the control module connector, and that the
charger is plugged into the wall.
Make sure that there is power flow to the
wall outlet.
Do not charge the battery longer than 30
hours. If you suspect that your battery
is damaged as a result of overcharging,
change with new new original 6 Volt (4.0
Amp/Hr.) battery with built-in thermal fuse.
Do not use non-original substitute parts.
Even with proper care, a rechargeable
battery does not last forever. Average battery
life is 1 to 3 years depending on vehicle use
and use conditions. Replace only with an
original 6 Volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) battery with
built-in thermal fuse. Do not use non-original
substitute parts.
