WARNING

To prevent injury.

• Do not make direct contact between battery terminals, as this can cause an explosion or fire.
• Only adults should charge batteries.
• A battery can fall out and injure a child if the vehicle tips over. Always use a battery retainer.
• The battery must be handled by adults only. The battery is heavy and contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Dropping the battery could result in serious injury.

To prevent fire.

• Do not operate the vehicle near flammable vapors (gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, etc.). The vehicle’s electrical switches and motors emit an internal spark which could cause an explosion or fire.
• Examine the battery, charger, and connectors for excessive wear or damage each time you charge the battery. If damage or excessive wear is detected, do not use the charger or the battery until you have replaced the worn or damaged part.
• Never modify the electrical system. Alterations could cause a fire.
• Use only a Power Wheels® battery and charger. Other batteries or chargers could cause a fire or explosion.
• Children can be harmed by small parts, sharp edges, and sharp points in the vehicle’s unassembled state, or by electrical items. Care should be taken in unpacking and assembly of the vehicle. Children should not handle parts, including the battery, or help in the assembly of the vehicle.

WARNING

Prevent injuries and deaths

• Direct adult supervision is required.
• Never ride at night.
• Keep children within safe riding areas. These areas must be:
  • away from swimming pools and other bodies of water to prevent drownings.
  • generally level to prevent tipovers.
  • away from steps, steep inclines, cars, roads, and alleys.
• Riding rules – Make sure children know and follow these rules for safe driving and riding.
  • Always sit on the seat.
  • Always wear shoes.
  • Only 2 riders at a time.

CHARGING

• Before first time use, you must charge thebattery at least 18 hours.
• Charge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use of the vehicle.
• Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may damage your battery and will void your warranty.
• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case for cracks and other damage that may cause sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to leak during the charging process. If damage is detected, do not charge thebattery or use it in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe damage to surface contacts.
• Do not place the battery on a surface (such as kitchen countertops) that could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you place your battery.
• The battery charger is not a toy.
• Adults note: Periodically examine this battery charger for damage to the cord, housing or other parts that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or injury. If the battery charger is damaged, do not use it.
• Your Power Wheels® 12-volt battery is equipped with a built-in thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a self-resetting safety device which automatically “trips” and shuts down the operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe. Once the fuse has “tripped”, remove your foot from the pedal and wait approximately 35 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, avoid severe driving conditions.
• If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving conditions, please call us at 1-800-348-0751 (US and Canada) or 59-05-51-00 Ext. 5206 or 01-800-463-59-89 (México).

• Before charging the battery, be sure the battery is upright and in a well-ventilated area.
• First, plug the charger connector into the battery socket. Then plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.
• Use the charger only in a wall outlet. Do not plug the charger into a ceiling outlet.
• If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a switch, make sure the switch is “ON”.
• Once the battery is charged, remove the charger connector from the battery and then unplug the charger from the wall outlet.
• Install the battery in the vehicle. Go to thebattery installation section in this manual.

SAFE DRIVING RULES

Before children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully evaluate the driving area as well as the child’s skill level and ability to drive the vehicle safely. Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing the operation of this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed with other playmates who want to drive the vehicle.

• Use vehicle on grass, asphalt (and other hard surfaces), and generally level ground ONLY!
• A child who is not sitting on the seat could fall off, cause a tip-over, or block the driver’s view.
• Only operate the vehicle in the daytime in a well-lit area.
• Help your child practice steering to learn how far and how quickly to turn the steering wheel when driving, and knows how to stop. Simply remove your foot from the pedal to stop!
• Driving near steep inclines can cause:
• The vehicle gains unsafe speed, even if the pedal is released to stop.
• The vehicle tilts and tips over.
• The wheels lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.
• The vehicle could roll backward at an unsafe speed.
• To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.

VEHICLE OPERATION

Beginner Use – Low Speed (4 km/h – 2,5 mph)

• Move the shifter to low speed. Press the foot pedal to go!
• Once your child is completely comfortable with operating the vehicle forward, introduce reverse.
• IMPORTANT! To avoid damaging motors and gears, stop the vehicle before shifting from forward to reverse.
• Move the shifter to reverse. Press the foot pedal to go! The vehicle travels in reverse in low speed only.

Advanced Use – High Speed (8 km/h – 5 mph)

• Before disconnecting the high-speed lock-out, make sure your child knows how to steer, how to start and stop and knows the rules for safe driving. After disconnecting the high-speed lock-out, the vehicle can be driven forward at low and high speeds.
• Make sure the shifter is in the reverse position.
• Loosen and remove the screw in the shifter base.
• Place the lock-out screw into the hole in theshifter handle and tighten. To enable high-speed lock-out, simply remove the screw from the shifter handle and replace in the shifter base.

• If the light bar begins to operate erratically, you may need to reset the electronics. Remove the batteries and reinstall.
• When the light becomes faint or stops, it’s time for an adult to change the batteries.

CARE

BATTERY CARE

• If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag.
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely before charging.
• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle, and at least once per month, even if the vehicle has not been used.
• Charge the battery after each use, regardless of how long the vehicle was used.
• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will ruin it.
