Battery Replacement and Disposal
Battery Fuse
The 6V battery will eventually lose the ability to hold a charge. Depending on the amount of use, and varying
conditions, the battery should operate for one to three years. Follow these steps to replace and dispose the battery:
The 6V battery features a thermal fuse with a rest fuse that will automatically trip and cut all power to the vehicle if
the motor, electric system or battery is overloaded. The fuse will reset and power will be resored after the unit is
turned OFF for five Minutes and then turned ON again. If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal use, the
vehicle may need repair. Call local Consumer Relations.
1. Remove the car seat.
2. Disconnect the battery connectors.
3. Remove the metal battery bracket.
4. Carefully lift the battery.
●
Depending on the condition of the battery (i.e.: leakage) you may want to wear protective gloves before
removal.
●
Do not lift the battery by its connectors or cables.
5. Place the dead battery in a plastic bag.
Important!
Recycle the dead battery responsibly. The battery contains lead acid (electrolyte) and must be
disposed of properly and legally. It is illegal in most areas to incinerate lead acid batteries or dispose of them in
landfills. Take it to a approved lead acid
battery recycler, such as local automotive battery retailer.
Do not throw the battery away with your regular household waste!
6. Replace the battery and reconnect the connectors.
7. Replace the metal battery bracket.
8. Replace the seat.
To avoid losing power, follow these guidelines:
●
Do not overload the vehicle.
●
Do not tow anything behind the vehicle.
●
Do not drive up steep slopes.
●
Do not drive into fixed objects, which may cause the wheels to spin, causing the motor to overheat.
●
Do not drive in very hot weather, components may overheat.
●
Do not allow water or other liquids to come in contact with the battery or other electric components.
●
Do not tamper with the electric system. Doing so may create a short, causing the fuse to trip.
