Problem
Vehicle does not run
Vehicle was running
but suddenly stopped
Possible Cause
Undercharged battery
Tripped thermal fuse
Electrical switch damage
Dead battery
Motor damage
Loose wires or connectors
Solution
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 outlet.
Make sure that there is power flow to the
wall outlet.
The built-in thermal fuse may “trip” and shut
down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle
is overloaded or the driving conditions too
severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, release
the button on the handlebar and wait 25
seconds before operating the vehicle again.
To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns,
do not overload the vehicle by exceeding
the 40 Ib maximum weight capacity or by
towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not
drive up hills or run into fixed objects, which
can cause the wheels to stop spinning while
power is still being supplied to the motors.
The electrical switches can become
corroded due to exposure to water or
moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand
or gravel.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure
the battery connector is tightly plugged into
the control module connector and that there
are no loose wires around the motor.
If your battery is old or if you have not
followed Battery Care instructions, your
battery may be dead. Replace with a new 6
volt battery.
Visit the Dynacraft website and replace with
a new motor.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure
the battery connector is tightly plugged into
the control module connector, and that there
are no loose wires around the motors.
