after approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to
resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic
shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the
130 lb. 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. If a thermal fuse
