SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Riding an electric product does present potential risks
and caution is required. Like any riding product, the Dune Buggy has inherent
hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a
hazardous situation). Like any riding product, the Dune Buggy can and is
intended to move and it is therefore, of course, possible to lose control or
otherwise get into dangerous situations. Both children and adults responsible
for supervising them must recognize that if such things occur, a rider can
be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other
precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
Do not activate the throttle unless you are on the product and in a safe,
outdoor environment suitable for riding.
WARNING: PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND
SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY: Because products, like the Dune Buggy,
can and do present potential hazards plainly associated with their use, it is
well recognized THE NEED FOR EXERCISE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IN
SELECTING RIDING PRODUCTS APPROPRIATE TO THE AGE OF A CHILD, OR
PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN SITUATIONS IN WHICH CHILDREN OF VARIOUS
AGES MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME RIDING PRODUCTS, IS IMPORTANT.
Not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child, and different
age recommendations are found within this category of product which are
intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the expected mental or
physical ability, or both, of a child to cope with the hazards.
Maintain a hold on the steering wheel at all times.
The recommended minimum rider age is eight (8) and older. Any rider
unable to fit comfortably on the product should not attempt to ride it. A
parent’s decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based
on the child’s maturity, skill and ability to follow rules.
Never use headphones, a cell phone or text when riding.
This product was manufactured for performance and durability but is not
impervious to damage. Jumping or other aggressive riding can over-stress
and damage any product, including the Dune Buggy, and the rider assumes all
risks associated with high-stress activity.
Be careful and know your limitations. Risk of injury increases as the degree
of riding difficulty increases. The rider assumes all risk associated with
aggressive riding activities.
Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the
electric product.
Never use near steps or swimming pools.
Do not allow hands, feet, hair, body parts, clothing, or similar articles to come
in contact with moving parts of the product, wheels or drive train, chain while
the motor is running.
Do not touch the brakes or electric motor on your electric product when in use
as they can become very hot.
Never hitch a ride with another vehicle.
Do not ride the Dune Buggy in wet or icy weather and never immerse the
electric product in water, as the electrical and drive components could get
damaged by water or possibly create other unsafe conditions.
Keep this product away from small children and remember that it is
intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely
comfortable and competent while operating the product.
Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may increase risks. Do not ride
the electric product in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that
can be associated with downhill rides. Never risk damaging surfaces such as
carpet or flooring by use of an electric product indoors.
Persons with any mental or physical conditions that may make them
susceptible to injury, impair their physical dexterity or mental capabilities
to recognize, understand, and follow safety instructions and to be able to
understand the hazards inherent in product use, should not use or be permitted
to use products inappropriate for their abilities. Persons with heart conditions,
head, back or neck ailments (or prior surgeries to these areas of the body), or
pregnant women, should be cautioned not to operate such products.
Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited.
PROPER RIDING ATTIRE
Always wear proper protective equipment such as an approved safety helmet
(with chin strap securely buckled). A helmet may be legally required by local
law or regulation in your area. Elbow pads and kneepads, a long-sleeved shirt,
long pants and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up
shoes with rubber soles), never drive barefooted or in sandals, and keep
shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system.
DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 120 lb (54 kg). Rider weight
does not necessarily mean a person’s size is appropriate to fit or
maintain control of the Dune Buggy.
CHECK AND MAINTAIN PRODUCT CONDITIONS
Before use, check to confirm that any and all chain guards or other covers
are in place and in serviceable condition. Check that the brake is functioning
properly, and that tires are inflated properly and have sufficient tread
remaining. The product should be maintained and repaired in accordance with
the manufacturer’s specifications, using only the manufacturer’s authorized
replacement parts, and should not be modified from the manufacturer’s
original design and configuration.
USING THE CHARGER
The charger supplied with the electric product should be regularly examined for
damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts. In the event of such damage,
the product must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or replaced.
Use only with the recommended charger.
Use caution when charging.
The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult.
ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS
Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may
affect the locations where the Dune Buggy may be used.
Do not operate charger near flammable materials.
Unplug charger and disconnect from product when not in use.
Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your
wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid
pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who
may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others.
Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your
product with a damp cloth.
FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS
FURTHER INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE AT YOUR OWN
RISK AND WITH APPROPRIATE AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE
OPERATION. USE CAUTION.
The Dune Buggy is meant to be used on private property and on closed
courses, and not on public streets or sidewalks. Do not ride your electric
product in any areas where pedestrian or vehicle traffic is present.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Remove contents from box. Remove the 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 Dune Buggy was 99 percent assembled and packed at the factory, there should not be any problems,
even if the box has a few scars or dents.
MAKE SURE POWER SWITCH IS TURNED “OFF” BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
Estimated Set-Up Time
Allow up to 12 hours for initial charge (see page 4 for charging information).

WARNING:
DO NOT USE NON-RAZOR PARTS
WITH YOUR DUNE BUGGY.
The Dune Buggy has been built to
certain Razor design specifications.
The original equipment supplied at
the time of sale was selected on the
basis of its compatibility with the
frame and all other parts. Certain
aftermarket components may not be
compatible. Use of non-Razor parts
will void the warranty.

Inflating the Tires
Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of
manufacturing and your purchase. Inflate the tires to the correct PSI before first time use.
Lower air pressure can result in a shorter ride time.
Periodically check both tires. Reinflate when needed.
WARNING:
Do not use the Dune Buggy for the
first time until you have inflated
the tires to the correct PSI. Failure
to do so may damage your electric
product and void your warranty.
WARNING:
Do not over inflate, as this could
damage the tire or wheel.
Note: The pressurized air supplies
found at gasoline 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 style tire pump equipped for a Schrader-type valve, inflate the tires with a pressure gauge
to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tires.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your Dune Buggy may not have a fully charged battery, therefore you must charge the battery prior to use.
• Initial charge time: 12 hours.
• Recharge time: up to 12 hours, even if the light turns green.
Recommended maximum charging time is 24 hours.
• Always charge the battery immediately after riding.
• Fully charge battery before storing for extended
periods of time.
• Unplug charger from the wall outlet when not in use.
• Failure to recharge battery periodically may result in a
battery that will not accept a charge.
• Make sure the Dune Buggy’s power switch is turned
OFF when unit is not in use. If the power switch is left
on for an extended period of time, the battery may reach
a stage at which it will no longer hold a charge.
• To ensure long battery life, never store the product in
freezing or below freezing temperatures! Freezing will
permanently damage the battery.
• Run time: Up to 40 minutes of continuous ride time.
Run time may vary depending on riding conditions, rider
weight, climate, and/or proper maintenance.
• Constant stopping and starting may shorten ride time.
• Battery life can vary depending on proper maintenance
and usage of the unit.
WARNING:
Use ONLY with the recommended
charger. Batteries are only to be
charged under adult supervision.
The charger is not a toy. Always
disconnect the charger before
wiping down and/or cleaning the
Dune Buggy with a damp cloth.
The charger supplied with the
Dune Buggy should be regularly
examined for damage to the cord,
plug, enclosure and other parts. In
the event of such damage, the Dune
Buggy must not be charged until
it has been repaired or replaced.
Chargers have built-in over-charge
protection to prevent battery
from being over-charged.
