Remove contents from box. Remove the foam separators that protect the components from damage during
shipping. Inspect the contents of the box for scratches in the paint, dents or kinked cables that may have
occurred during shipping. Because the Dirt Quad is 95 percent assembled and packed at the factory, there
should not be any problems, even if the box has a few scars or dents.

Tools required: 6mm Allen wrench
warning:
Failing to properly adjust and
tighten the bolts that affix the
handlebars can cause you to
lose control and crash.
3 Insert bolts and tighten
securely. When properly
tightened, the handlebars
should not move forward or
back.

bar clamp in upright, vertical
position.

wrench, remove bolts from

Note: Handlebar clamps are
located in the plastic bag

Note: The gap between the
upper clamp and lower clamp
should be equal on both sides of

manufacturing and your purchase. Inflate the tires to the correct PSI before first time use.
stations are designed to inflate
high-volume automobile tires.
If you decide to use such an
air supply to inflate your tires,
first make sure the pressure
gauge is working, then use very
short bursts to inflate to the
correct PSI. If you inadvertently
over-inflate the tire, release the
excess pressure immediately.
Using a bicycle tire pump equipped for a Schrader valve, inflate the tires to the PSI indicated on the side-
wall of the tire.
q testing the Brake
To use the brake, squeeze the lever to increase the pressure on the brake. The brake lever is fitted
with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine-tune the lever movement to brake
engagement. If brake is not engaging properly, follow instructions for adjusting the brakes outlined below.

BeFOre riDing
warning:
q charging the Battery
Rechargeable batteries are
only to be charged under adult
supervision. Always disconnect
your electric four wheeler from
the charger before cleaning
with liquid.
Your electric four wheeler may not have a fully charged battery; therefore it is a good idea to charge the
battery prior to use.
• Initial charge time: 12 hours
• Run time: Up to 40 minutes of continuous ride time.
Run time may vary depending on riding conditions,
climate and/or proper maintenance.
• Average battery life: 250 charge/discharge cycles
• To ensure long battery life, do not store the battery
in temperatures above 75° or below -10° F.
• Recharge time: up to 12 hours,
depending on level of depletion.
• Fully charge battery before storing.
• When the scooter is not in regular use,
recharge the battery at least once a
month until normal use is resumed.
Note: If your charger does not
look like the one illustrated,
your unit has been supplied
with an alternative charger.
The specifications and charging
procedure would not change.
Charger
The charger has a small window
with one LED to indicate the
charge status. Refer to the
illustration on the charger unit
for the actual “charging” and
“charged” status indications for
your model charger.
Chargers have built-in over-
charge protection to prevent
battery from being over-
charged.
Note: Make sure power is

outlet. If the lights on charger
do not light up, check the power
to the outlet. If necessary, try a
different outlet.
Charger will get warm during
use. This is normal for some
chargers and is no cause for
concern. If your charger does
not get warm during use, it does
not mean that it is not working
properly.
warning: Failure
to recharge the battery at least
once a month may result in a
battery that will no longer hold
a charge.

q adjusting the Brake
Tools required: 5mm Allen wrench

warning:
The brake is capable of causing
the electric four wheeler
to skid the tire throwing an
unsuspecting rider. Practice
in an open area free from
obstacles until you are familiar
with the brake function. Avoid
skidding to a stop as this can
cause you to lose control or
damage the rear tire(s).

10 On the inside of the wheel
slide bolt through wheel and
axle and secure with nut.
11 On the outside of the
wheel replace washers and
secure with bolt.
q chain and sprocket
warning:
The chain will typically have a “loose spot” and “tight spot” corresponding with a particular sprocket
rotational position. This is normal and common to all chain-driven products due to run-out tolerances of the
freewheel and sprocket. Proper chain alignment must be maintained. If the chain is noisy or rough running,
check the lubrication, tension and alignment of the sprockets, in that order. The chain tensioner must be
aligned and free from binding and the tensioner spring(s) must be operating correctly.
To avoid a pinch or injury, keep
fingers away from moving
sprockets and chain.
q Battery care and Disposal
Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F or below -10° F.
CONTAINS SEALED LEAD BATTERY. BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED.
warning:
Disposal: Your Razor product uses sealed lead-acid batteries which must be recycled or disposed of in
an environmentally sound manner. Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire. The battery may explode
or leak. Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in your regular household trash. The incineration, land filling
or mixing of sealed lead-acid batteries with household trash is prohibited by law in most areas. Return
exhausted batteries to a federal or state approved lead-acid battery recycler or a local seller of automotive
batteries. If you live in Florida or Minnesota, it is prohibited by law to throw away lead-acid batteries in the
municipal waste stream.
If a battery leak develops, avoid
contact with the leaking acid
and place the damaged battery
in a plastic bag. Refer to the
disposal instructions at left. If
acid comes into contact with
skin or eyes, flush with cool
water for at least 15 minutes
and contact a physician.
q charger
The charger supplied with the electic four wheeler should be regularly examined for damage to the cord,
plug, enclosure and other parts, and, in the event of such damage, the Dirt Quad must not be charged until
it has been repaired or replaced.
Use ONLY with the recommended charger.
