Introduction, Safety and Warnings
This manual was written to help you and your child get the most performance, comfort, enjoyment, and safety when riding your new electric ride-on toy. It is important for you to understand your new electric ride-on toy. By reading this manual before you let your child go out on his/her first ride, you will know how to get the most from your new electric ride-on toy. It is also important that your child's first ride be in a controlled environment, away from cars, obstacles, and other riders.
General Warning
Riding an electric ride-on toy can be a dangerous activity, even under the best of circumstances. Proper maintenance of your new ride-on toy is your responsibility and helps reduce the risk of injury. Certain conditions may cause components to fail without fault of the manufacturer. The ride-on toy can and is intended to move, and it is therefore possible to lose control, fall off, and/or get into dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction, or expertise can eliminate. If such a thing does occur, your child can become seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other safety precautions.
Safety Warnings
- To reduce the risk of injury, adult supervision is required.
- Never use in roadways, near motor vehicles, on or near steep inclines or steps, or swimming pools or other bodies of water.
- Always wear shoes.
- Never allow more than one (1) rider.
- CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts not suitable for children under 3 years old.
- Do not ride in rain, snow, or mud, or store the ride-on toy outside without covering. Water can damage components, including the motor, electrical system, and battery.
- This ride-on toy is not an off-road vehicle and is intended to be ridden on smooth, level ground. Do not ride in loose dirt, sand, or gravel, which could damage moving parts, the motor, or the electrical system.
Note: Store the ride-on toy indoors when not in use or in a covered location. Avoid long-term exposure to rain, excessive sun, or other inclement weather.
Ride at your own risk and always use common sense. Always wear appropriate clothing and shoes. Never ride barefoot or in sandals, and make sure that shoelaces or other fasteners are tied and kept away from the wheels and drive system of the ride-on toy.
Rider Use and Required Parental Supervision
Riders must not exceed the weight limit of 65 lb (29.5 kg) and must be over 3 years old. Never allow more than 1 child to ride the ride-on toy simultaneously.
The age grade for the electric ride-on toy is for 3 years and older. Just because your child is within the age and weight limitations specified for the electric ride-on toy, does not mean that his/her size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the electric ride-on toy, or that he/she is capable of safely operating the electric ride-on toy. You are the best judge of whether you or your child can safely operate the electric ride-on toy; this includes determining whether your child is at the appropriate developmental stage for safe use of the electric ride-on toy. Any rider that is unable to fit comfortably on the electric ride-on toy should never attempt to ride it. A parent's decision to allow their child to use the electric ride-on toy should be based on the child's maturity, skill, and their ability to follow rules. Remember that the electric ride-on toy is intended for use only by children who are, at a minimum, able to comfortably and safely operate it.
Children operating the electric ride-on toy should be supervised by an adult at all times. Parents should ensure that children only use the electric ride-on toy safely and within their age and physical limits.
This manual contains very important safety information. It is your responsibility to completely review this information and make sure that all riders understand all of the warnings, cautions, instructions, and safety topics addressed in this manual and to assure that all riders are able to safely and responsibly use the electric ride-on toy. You should periodically review and reinforce all information in this manual with all riders, especially children. You should also regularly inspect and maintain your electric ride-on toy to ensure the safety of all riders. Make sure that your new electric ride-on toy is properly fitted to any child riding it; that it is in good repair and safe operating condition; that you and your child have gone over the use, operation, and safety information in this manual; that you and your child have learned and understand what to do and what not to do with your new electric ride-on toy, including observing all applicable laws, rules, and common sense.
Children should be made aware of all possible riding hazards and correct riding behavior before they ride the electric ride-on toy and should be supervised by an adult at all times. Please explain the following to them as often as necessary.

About Fuses
Your ride-on toy is equipped with a safety fuse. The fuse is a self-resetting safety device which automatically "trips" and shuts down operation of the ride-on toy if the ride-on toy is overloaded or the operating conditions are too severe. Once a fuse has "tripped," set the power switch to the OFF position and do not continuously push on the foot pedal. The fuse will automatically reset itself after approximately 2 minutes and allow the ride-on toy to resume normal operations. To avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not overload the ride-on toy by exceeding the 65 lb (29.5 kg) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the ride-on toy. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motor.
