|
| could cause the motor to overheat. If the scooter suddenly stops |
|
| running, wait a few seconds and then push the breaker to reset the |
|
| circuit. Correct the conditions that caused the breaker to trip to avoid |
|
| repeatedly tripping the breaker. |

| level ground. |
| Tire is not properly inflated | The tire is inflated when shipped, but it invariably will lose some |
|
| pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase. |
|
| Refer to instructions on page 4 of this manual to properly inflate tire. |
| Scooter is overloaded | Make sure you do not overload the scooter by allowing more than |
|
| one rider at a time, exceeding the electric scooters 120 pounds (54kg) |
|
| maximum weight limit, going up a hill or towing objects behind the |

|
| shut off power to the motor. Correct the riding conditions that caused |
|
| the overload, wait a few seconds, and then push the breaker to reset |
|
| the circuit. Avoid repeatedly tripping the circuit breaker. |
