Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged for at
least 12 hours before using the scooter for the first time and up to 8
hours after each subsequent use.
Check all connectors. Make sure the charger connector is tightly
plugged into the charging port, and that the charger is plugged into
the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is on.
You may check to see if your charger is working by using a volt meter
or asking your local Razor authorized service center to test your
charger for you.
Check all wires and connectors to make sure they are tight.
The fuse will burn out and automatically shut off the power if the
motor is overloaded.
An excessive overload, such as too heavy a rider or too steep a hill,
could cause the motor to overheat. Replace the fuse with a new one
of equal amperage. Correct the conditions that caused the fuse to
burn out and avoid repeatedly burning out fuse.
Contact your local Razor authorized service center for diagnosis and
repair.
Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged for at
least 12 hours before using the scooter for the first time and up to 8
hours after each subsequent use.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery connector is
tightly plugged into the charger connector, and that the charger is
plugged into the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is on.
Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last forever.
Average battery life is 1 to 2 years depending on scooter use and
conditions. Replace only with a Razor replacement battery.
Refer to adjusting the brake instructions on page 4.
Use only on solid, flat clean and dry surfaces such as pavement or
level ground.
The tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably will lose some
pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase.
Refer to instructions on page 5 of this manual to properly inflate tires.
Make sure you do not overload the scooter by allowing more than
one rider at a time, exceeding the 220 lb. maximum weight limit,
going up a hill or towing objects behind the scooter. If the scooter
is overloaded, the circuit breaker may trip and shut off power to the
motor. Correct the driving conditions that caused the overload, wait
a few seconds, and then push the breaker to reset the circuit. Avoid
repeatedly tripping the circuit breaker.
Use your fingers to twist the caliper adjuster in either direction until
rotor is centered between pads.
Refer to adjusting the brake instructions on page 4.
