MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Occasionally use a lightweight oil to lubricate moving parts such as wheels and the
steering linkages.
Park the vehicle indoors or cover to protect it from wet weather.
Keep the vehicle away from sources of heat, such as stoves and heaters. Plastic
parts may melt.
ADULTS ONLY:
Recharge the battery after each use. Recharge the battery at least
once a month when the vehicle is not being used.
DO NOT
wash the vehicle with a hose.
DO NOT
wash the vehicle with soap and water.
DO NOT
drive the vehicle in rainy or snowy weather. Water will damage the motor,
electrical system, and battery.
Clean the vehicle with a soft, dry cloth. To restore shine to plastic parts, use a non
wax furniture polish.
DO NOT
use car wax.
DO NOT
use abrasive cleaners, or cleaners
that contain ammonia or isopropyl alcohol.
DO NOT
drive the vehicle in loose dirt, sand or fine gravel, which could damage
moving parts, motors or the electric system.
CAUTION:
Charge the battery before storing your vehicle, otherwise the
battery will be damaged.
ABOUT FUSES
Your vehicle is equipped with an overcurrent protector and fuse. The protector
is a self-resetting safety device which automatically “trips” and shuts 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 AND DO NOT CONTINUOUSLY PUSH ON THE FOOT PEDAL. The fuse
will automatically reset itself after approximately 2 minutes and allow the vehicle
to resume normal operations. To avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not
overload the vehicle by exceeding the 65 Ib (29.5 kg) maximum weight capacity
or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as
driving up slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop
spinning while power is still being supplied to the motor.
