PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

Vehicle runs in low speed, but 
does not run in high speed.

Please note: The vehicle is 
designed to operate in low 
speed only in reverse.

High speed hook-up not disconnected.

The vehicle was pre-set to run only in low speed. To allow the 
vehicle to run in low and high speed, you must connect the High 
Speed connectors. Follow the instructions on page 18.

Note:

 The high speed connectors must be joined to use the

high speed grip.

When the foot pedal is pressed 
one rear wheel spins

Operation of vehicle in low speed

It is possible that only one rear wheel may spin when both rear 
wheels are raised off the ground and the vehicle is in low speed. 
This does not necessarily indicate a problem. Check for proper 
operation of the drive system by raising the rear wheels off the 
ground and pressing the foot pedal. If only one rear wheel spins, 
carefully press your hand on the spinning wheel to slow it down. 
The other rear wheel should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel 
does not begin to spin, there may be a problem with the vehicle.

gurgling noise when charging
