XCAUTION: To prevent entanglement, keep hair away
from wheels.
• Adult supervision is recommended when this vehicle
is being operated.
• To avoid accidental operation, remove all batteries
when not in use. Always turn the vehicle OFF before
removing batteries.
BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION
In exceptional circumstances batteries may leak fluids
that can cause a chemical burn injury or ruin your product.
To avoid battery leakage:
•
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the product
before being charged (if designed to be removable).
• Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under
adult supervision (if designed to be removable).
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc),
or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as
recommended are to be used.
• Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the product.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

Battery Performance Note:
For best performance use regular or high-performance
alkaline batteries (where disposable batteries are called
for). If your vehicle is supplied with standard (carbon-zinc)
batteries for initial use and/or demonstration purposes, we
recommend replacing them with alkaline batteries when
necessary. Battery life may vary depending on battery
brand.
II.VEHICLE OPERATION
FORWARD
REVERSE
LEFT
RIGHT
1. When your vehicle starts to lose power, it may lose
functions or performance. It's time for fresh batteries
(or a recharge). Your vehicle's running time may
change depending on your driving style.
2. Radio interferance can effect your vehicle's perform-
ance. Interference can be caused by other R/C vehi-
cles running on the same frequency, electrical wires,
large buildings or CB radios. Try to stay away from
these!
3. Point your transmitter antenna up - not down toward
your vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it
won't work properly. If your transmitter has an
antenna carry-loop feature, make sure the antenna is
removed from the holder and straightened before
operating.
4. Don’t drive your vehicle in sand or through water or
snow.
5. Don’t store your vehicle near heat or in direct
sunlight. Always turn switches OFF and remove all
batteries for storage.
