Battery Fuse
Drive Motor Battery
The drive motor circuit features a thermal 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 restored after a short time. If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal
use, the vehicle may need repair.
WARNING: DO NOT BYPASS THE FUSE - RISK OF FIRE. This may overload
and damage the electrical system.
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  re. The battery may explode or leak acid.
• Do not dispose of the battery in household trash. The incineration, land  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).
Only an adult who has read and understands the safety warnings should handle, charge or
recharge the battery. Failure to comply with all safety warnings may result in serious injury or
death.
