CARE & MAINTENANCE

• Only use the charger and battery specified by the manufacturer. The charging port is located under the seat.
• Before charging, check the charger, battery, and plug for any damage. If anything is damaged, stop using the vehicle until it is repaired.
• Do not turn the vehicle on while charging and don’t turn the battery upside down.
• While charging, the charger will warm up. If the charger does not warm up, the charger, battery, or circuit may have failed.

1. Before use, check to ensure the My First Forklift is in good condition. Check for damage to the battery, wires, and other parts of the forklift. Check to ensure all screws are tight and that there are no potential safety hazards in the operation area. If any damage is found, stop using the vehicle until all damage is repaired.

2.  If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you remove the batteries to avoid battery leakage, corrosion of the circuit board, and/or damage to the remote control.

3. The vehicle should be parked indoors or covered with waterproof tarp to avoid water damage.

4. Keep the forklift away from furnaces, heaters, and direct sunlight. Plastic parts may melt. When charging,
   keep the forklift and battery away from flammable materials to prevent fires.

5. Charge the battery immediately after use to maintain battery capacity. Charging should always be performed by an adult. Fully charge the battery before storing the forklift away for extended periods of time. Pull out the red main line and charge the battery once a month to prolong the battery life.

6. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the vehicle, or use a non-wax furniture polish to wipe the plastic parts to achieve a smooth surface effect. Do not use chemical solvents to wipe the plastic parts of the vehicle. Do not clean the vehicle with soap and water. Do not drive the vehicle in rainy or snowy weather. Water will damage the motor, circuit system, and battery.

7. When the vehicle is not in use, be sure to turn off the power and turn all switches to the “stop” or “off” position.

8. All repairs should be performed by a professional.
