30 NEUTON ® GARDEN CART Safety & Operating Instructions
S YMPTOM P OSSIBLE C AUSE
The Cart run time is
less than a half hour
of continuous use. ⇒ The battery could be under charged. Recharge the battery after each use. Make
sure that the charger is properly plugged into your Cart and that the charger is
plugged into the wall outlet. Make sure that there is power at the wall outlet that
you are using to charge the battery.
⇒ The battery is old and does not accept full charge. Even with proper care, a
rechargeable battery does not last forever. The average battery lasts from 6
months to 3 years depending on how you use your Cart and the conditions under
which you operate. Replace the battery with a new 12 Volt rechargeable battery
available directly from Country Home Products, Inc.
⇒ The safety fuse could be tripped. Each Cart has a built-in safety fuse. A fuse may
“trip” and shut down your Cart if your Cart is overloaded or if the conditions are
too serve. The fuse automatically resets itself after approximately 5 seconds,
after which you can use your Cart. To avoid the fuse from continuously tripping,
do not overload your Cart (by exceeding the weight limits), do not drive up
extremely steep hills, and do not run into fixed objects (which can cause the
wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors). If the
fuse continually trips under normal working conditions, contact us at 1-866-
NEUTON1 (638-8661).
The Cart runs
sluggishly. ⇒ The battery could be under charged. Recharge the battery after each use. Make
sure that the charger is properly plugged into your Cart and that the charger is
plugged into the wall outlet. Make sure that there is power at the wall outlet that
you are using to charge the battery.
⇒ If you have been using your Cart for a long time, the battery probably needs
charging.
⇒ The battery is old and does not accept full charge. Even with proper care, a
rechargeable battery does not last forever. The average battery lasts from 6
months to 3 years depending on how you use your Cart and the conditions under
which you operate. Replace the battery with a new 12 Volt rechargeable battery
available directly from Country Home Products, Inc.
⇒ The conditions are too stressful for your Cart. The Cart is intended for residential
use. If slopes are too steep or the terrain too bumpy, your Cart might experience
a noticeable decrease in performance. You’ll have to charge the battery more
often.
Sometimes the Cart
runs, but other
times it does not. ⇒ Check all wires and connectors; they could be loose. Make sure the battery
connectors are secure and the wire harness connection is snug.
⇒ The electrical switches might be damaged or corroded because they were
exposed to water or moisture, or they simply wore down from extensive use.
Contact us at 1-866-NEUTON1 (638-8661) and we’ll help you diagnose and repair
the problem.
Loud clacking or
grinding noise from
the gearbox.
⇒ The motor’s gears are broken. Contact us at 1-866-NEUTON1 (638-8661) and
we’ll help you diagnose and repair the problem.
The charger gets
warm during use. ⇒ There is no reason for concern. Some chargers normally get warm when they are
charging. If, on the other hand, your charger does not get warm when charging,
it does not necessarily mean that it is not working properly.
