PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

Vehicle runs sluggishly

Undercharged battery

Charge the battery. A new battery should have been

 

 

charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for

 

 

the first time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for

 

 

at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery

 

 

longer than 30 hours.

 

 

Check all 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”.
