allows you to protect
your batteries from

Once the series of

has completed, move
the throttle position to
maximum and release to
neutral. You will receive

to proceed to the next
function, you can simply
shut the power off to the

More About the Battery
Management System
This section will give you a few more details
regarding the smart battery management system.
The low voltage cutoff is based on the type of
battery,batteryvoltage,cellcount(forLi-Po/
Li-Ionmodes,whichtheESCrecognizesatpower
up)andbatteryvoltageunderload.Thelow
voltagecutoffoccursin2steps.
Step1:Themotor’spowerwillbereducedin
order to alert the user that the battery is about to
reach the cutoff point.
Step2:Oncethebatteryreachesthelowvoltage
cutoff point, the motor will shut down completely.
In order to protect your battery, do not resume
operation.Shutthevehicleoffandinstallafully
