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 dam-
aged.
• Inspect the product frequently. Failure to in-
spect the product and to make repairs or ad-
justments, 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 tight-
ened 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.
• Store the vehicle indoors. 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).
