WARNING: This is the “older rider” version of the popular Dirt Quad. It is bigger and faster than the original and it is not intended for riders under 14. Younger riders should not use the Dirt Quad 500, they should ride the original Dirt Quad for ages 8 and up.
WARNING: Riding a four-wheeled electric product like the Dirt Quad 500 does present potential risks and caution is required. Like any riding product, the Dirt Quad 500 has inherent hazards associated with its use (for example, falling off or riding it into a hazardous situation). Like any riding product, the Dirt Quad 500 can and is intended to move, and it is therefore 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.
only the manufacturer’s authorized replacement parts, and should not be modified from the manufacturer’s original design and configuration. Replace worn or broken parts immediately.ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may affect the locations where the Dirt Quad 500 may be used.Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel(s) 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.
WARNING: NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER AGE 14 OR HEAVIER THAN 220 LB (100 KG). Because products, like the Dirt Quad 500, 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 rider to cope with the hazards.Razor recommends that children under the age of 14 not be permitted to use this product. This recommendation is based not just on age or weight or height it reflects consideration of expected maturity and skills as well as physical size. The recommended rider age of 14 years or older is only an estimate and can be affected by the rider’s size, weight, or skills not every rider 14 years old will be suited to the product. Certainly, any rider unable to fit comfortably on the Dirt Quad 500 should not attempt to ride it, but 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. Razor emphasizes that adults are strongly advised not to disregard Razor’s recommendations or permit younger children to ride the Dirt Quad 500.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, 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.NOTICE: This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your electric rideon product. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned.

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 500 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.MAKE SURE POWER SWITCH IS TURNED “OFF” BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.Estimated Assembly and Set-Up TimeRazor recommends assembly by an adult. Allow up to 10 minutes for assembly, not including initial charge time. Allow up to 12 hours for initial charge (see page 5 for charging information).

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UPAttaching the HandlebarsTool Required: 6 mm Allen Wrench
WARNING: Failing to properly adjust and tighten the bolts that affix the handlebars can cause you to lose control and crash.
1 Using the 6 mm Allenwrench, remove bolts from handlebar clamp.
2 Place handlebars in handlebarclamp in upright, vertical position.
3 Insert bolts and tighten securely.When properly tightened, the handlebars should not move forward or back.Note: The gap between the upper clamp and lower clamp should be equal on both sides of handlebar.
Inflating the TiresTires 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 all four tires. Reinflate when needed.Using a bicycle tire pump equipped for a Schrader valve, inflate the tires to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire.Testing the BrakeTo 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 on page 7.
WARNING: Do not use the Dirt Quad 500 for the first time until you have inflated the tires to the correct PSI. Failure to do so may damage your 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.

Chain and SprocketThe 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.Battery Care and DisposalDo not store in freezing or below freezing temperatures. To properly maintain your battery and ensure maximum battery life, carefully read the “Charging the Battery” section on page 5 of this owner’s manual.Pb CONTAINS SEALED LEAD ACID BATTERIES.
