Welcome to the StepRanger family! Below you’ll find everything you need to get started, operate safely, and keep your StepRanger running strong.

🔧 Getting Started

Handlebar Setup

If your StepRanger arrived by freight, the handlebars may be folded forward for protection. To adjust: 

• Remove the plastic column cover by unclipping both sides
  
• Loosen the bolts and set handlebars to a vertical position
  
• Retighten bolts and snap the cover back into place

Battery On/Off Switch

Located on the left underside (driver’s side), just outside the battery box. Make sure it’s toggled ON before use.

Ignition & Lights

• Insert key and turn:    
  • One click: Powers on with driving ring light
    
  • Two clicks: Full headlight + driving power
    
   

🔋 Battery & Charging

Battery Location: Left-side battery box
Charging Port: Left side under the bed
Charger: Stored in the right-side compartment

Charging Instructions

1. Plug charger into a standard 110V outlet
   
2. Connect the charger to the left-side port
   
3. Charge fully (typically overnight)

Note: If you do not have the dual battery upgrade, the right-side port is inactive, but pre-wired for future expansion.

🎮 Operating Controls

Steering Limit Adjustment

Bolts behind each front wheel limit the turning radius. To adjust:

  • Brakes and throttle
    
  • Battery charge and corrosion
