Operation 1. Slide Cycle POWER SWITCH left side of Cycle under seat) forward to ON position (Fig. 13). You will hear the motorized Gyro spin up to speed. Note: Turn switch off whenever possible to save batteries. 2. Place Cycle on ground, leaning on clear plastic STABILIZER (Fig. 14). 5. Push Left Stick upward to drive straight ahead. ® Frequencies 2 Cycles can run together or race only if one is 49MHz and one is 27MHz Driving Techniques 1. Rolling Start: Keeping fingers clear of wheels and spokes and pedaling feet, hold vehicle still on ground and push Left Stick forward, guiding bike forward until it takes off. 2. Braking: While driving, move the Left Stick backwards to brake. 3. Coasting Stop: While driving, release the Left Stick to roll to a stop. 4. Turning Circle: Your Cycle can steer in a circle about 10-15 feet across, depending on speed and surface. To turn more sharply, try "blipping" the left stick forward to pulse the power on and off for extra-slow speed (takes practice). 5. Transmitter has a range of about 65 feet. Don't drive too far or you may lose control of your Cycle. Don't touch antenna. R/C Facts 1. When batteries start to wear down, Cycle may slow, stop, or refuse to respond to your control. It's time to replace batteries. This is absolutely the #1 cause of all problems and questions! 2. Radio frequency interference can interfere with the control of your Cycle. Buildings, power wires, other R/C transmitters, or CB radio can all cause problems. Pick a place to drive that's away from these things. 3. Hold Transmitter so antenna points up, not toward the vehicle. Keep Cycle within range to keep control. 4. Water, snow and sand can cause problems. Keep away from them. Wipe bike clean and dry after each use, including inside battery compartments. Clothing can be wiped with a damp cloth and allowed to air dry overnight. 5. Turn Cycle switch off immediately after running. Remove batteries for after use. Keep Cycle and Transmitter away from heat and direct sunlight and moisture. Problem Probable Cause Correction Cycle will not move or steer • Batteries dead or low • Batteries installed incorrectly • Loose battery connection • Cycle switch is off • Rider preventing front wheel from turning • Remove and replace batteries, making sure battery direction (polarity, +/-) is correct and battery compartment contacts are clean. • Replace batteries with fresh, new alkaline cells OR recharge rechargeable cells. • Turn on Cycle switch. • Reposition Rider so front wheel can turn. Cycle will not steer • Rider positioned on front pegs • Cycle won't steer when Rider's riding front pegs. See R/C Riding Guide for "Straight Ahead Stunts." Erratic operation, loss of control, short range • Radio interference • Weak Transmitter battery • Weak Cycle batteries • Move to another location. • Point antenna up in the air, not at vehicle. Don't touch antenna. • Replace or recharge batteries Cycle stops working after going into water or snow • Water in battery/electronics/motor areas DO NOT RUN IN OR NEAR WATER. WATER DAMAGE WILL VOID WARRANTY. • Turn Cycle off IMMEDIATELY, remove all batteries, dry inside and out with clean soft cloth and allow to dry overnight with battery doors off.

Swing open LATCH on BATTERY DOOR on bottom of cycle and open door (Fig. 1). 2. Insert 6 fresh, new "AA" ALKALINE BATTERIES in the directions shown on label inside compartment door (Fig. 2). 6. IMPORTANT: OBSERVE BATTERY POLARITY (DIRECTION). Make sure that (+) and (–) on batteries are matched to (+) and (–) on battery compartment labels. 3. Close BATTERY DOOR and swing latch securely back into locked position. Note: Keep Cycle power off to save battery power until you're ready to run. BATTERY DOOR Transmitter Features and Operation 1. Left stick: Push up to go forward. Release to coast. Pull down to brake and reverse. Tip: "Pulse" the left stick (rapidly move up and release) for extra steering control. Slower speeds let you make sharper turns. 2. Right stick: Push left for Left Turn, right for Right Turn. Release to go LEFT straight. STICK 3. Antenna: Hold Transmitter so antenna points straight up in the air. Don't touch the antenna during operation. Note: There is no on/off switch on Transmitter. Moving the sticks turns it on. Releasing the sticks turns it off (to save battery power). “Pulsing” The Left Stick Repeatedly "pulse" the left (throttle) stick by rapidly moving it up and releasing it, up and release, up and release, etc., to control the speed of your ATV. Slower speeds help you make sharper turns. Fig 1 "POWER ON" LIGHT ANTENNA RIGHT STICK TM Fig 7 Forward LATCH Transmitter Battery Installation 1. Slide open BATTERY DOOR on back of TRANSMITTER (Fig. 5). 2. Insert a fresh, new 9-VOLT BATTERY with the polarity (+/-) as shown on the bottom of battery compartment (Fig 6). 3. Hold battery in place with thumb and slide battery door all the way closed to secure battery. (Fig. 6A). 4. Check for transmitter operation by looking for the red "POWER ON" LIGHT on front to light when a STICK is moved. If LIGHT does not come on, check battery polarity. If LIGHT still does not light, install a brand-new battery. Coast Seating Rider IMPORTANT: RIDER MUST BE SEATED CORRECTLY FOR PROPER OPERATION, MAKING SURE HANDS, FEET AND CLOTHING DO NOT TOUCH WHEELS OR GROUND. 1. Face Rider's head forward. 2. Swing out PRONGS from bottom of BOOTS as shown. (Fig. 8) 3. Snap PRONG on each shoe over each FOOTPEG. 2. Seat Driver in seat. 4. Hold WRIST between index and middle fingers as shown (Fig. 10) and place thumb on front of HANDLEGRIP. Squeeze fingers and thumb together to push HAND all the way onto HANDLEGRIP as shown. Repeat for other HAND. SEE FREESTYLE™ R/C RIDING GUIDE FOR STUNT RIDING POSITIONS Using Rechargeable Cells (Batteries and Charger not included.) Rechargeable "AA" size batteries may be used in Cycle. You'll still need to purchase a 9-Volt Alkaline battery for the transmitter.
