• Restrict children to safe riding
areas:
■ Away from swimming pools
and other bodies of water to
prevent drowning.
■ Level ground to prevent tip
overs and unintended downhill
motion.
■ Away from steps, hills,
driveways, roads and alleys.
• Teach and learn the safety first:
Although most children can
master the physical driving skills
to control the vehicles. they do
not have the mature judgment
skills. Never let a child drive at
any time without adult
supervision, and take the time to
carefully evaluate child's skill
levels and abilities to operate the
vehicle safely. Children can not
always recognize the hazards

ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Battery Warning
06 07

About Thermal Fuses
• Your 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 operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is
overloaded or the driving conditions too severe. Once a fuse has
tripped, it will automatically reset itself after approximately 10
seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal operations. To
avoid repeated automatic shut downs, do not overload the vehicle
by exceeding the 88 lbs (40kg) maximum weight capacity or by
towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions,
such as driving up very steep slopes or running into fixed objects,
which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still
being supplied to the motors.
Important Notes
• Your new battery must be charged for at least 12 hours before you
use it in your vehicle for the first time.
• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to
recharge it.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
• We recommend that you start charging your battery before
beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case for cracks
and other damage which may cause sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to leak
during the charging process.
• If damage is detected, do not charge the battery or use it in your
vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe
damage to surfaces It contacts.
• Do not charge the battery on a surface which could be damaged by
the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the
surface on which you charge your battery.
• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it in
the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from the vehicle.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult
supervision.
• Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Make sure the charger connector is matching with the battery
connector.
• Make sure the brand, voltage and frequency of the charger are in
accordance with the wall outlet.
• Batteries are to be Inserted with the correct polarity.
• The supply terminals are not to be short circuited.
Charge the Battery
The first charge will take about 12 hours.
Tips 1:
1. Open the battery charger port (located on the
seat of near by).
2. Insert the battery charger connector into the
charger port.
3. Plug the charger into a standard 120V or
230V wall outlet. Note:The charger may feel
warm during charging. This is normal and not a
cause for concern.
4. After charging is complete (at least 8-10
hours, but not more than 24 hours, with the first
charge taking about 12 hours), unplug the
charger from the wall outlet and unplug the
battery connector from the charger port.

same as tips 1.
08 09

• Plug the battery connector into the charger port.
• Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.
• Only use the 12 volt charger to charge your 12 volt battery.
• Note: if power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a switch, make
sure the switch is 'ON'.
• Before first-time use, charge the battery for at least 12 hours.
Never charge the battery longer than 24 hours.
• Recharge the battery for at least 8-10 hours after each use of your
vehicle.
• Do not charge the battery longer than 24 hours.
• Do not charge or store battery upside down. Charging produces
explosive gases. Charge away from flames, sparks and lit
cigarettes. Charge in a well ventilated area.
• Once the battery is charged, disconnect the battery connector from
the charger connector. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet. The
battery is now ready to be installed in your vehicle.
Care
• If a battery leak develops,
avoid contact with the leaking
acid and place the damaged
battery in a plastics sealed bag.
• If acid comes in contact with
skin or eyes, flush with cool
water for at least 15 minutes and
call a physician immediately.
• If acid is Internally ingested,
give water, milk of magnesia or
egg whites immediately. Never
give emetics or induce vomiting.
Call a physician immediately.
• Charge a new battery for at
least 18 hours before first use.
• Never charge the battery
longer than 24 hours.
• Overcharging or undercharging
the battery may shorten battery
life and decrease vehicle running
time.
• After the first charge, recharge
the battery for at least 12 hours
after each use. Never charge the
battery longer than 24 hours.
Charge the battery after each
use, regardless of how long the
vehicle was used.
• The battery must be upright
while charging.
• Do not allow the battery to run
down completely
before charging.
• Charge the battery before
storing the vehicle.
• Charge the battery at least
once per month, even if the

wear or damage each time you
charge the battery. If damage is
detected, do not use the charger
or the battery until you have
replaced the worn or damaged
part.

Circuit breaker may "trip" and stop the
vehicle if it is overloaded or the driving
conditions too severe. The breaker will
automatically reset after approximately 10
seconds, and the vehicle will operate
normally. To avoid repeated automatic shut
downs, do not overload the vehicle by
exceeding the weight limit of 88lbs (40kg), or
by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not
drive uphill or run into fixed objects, which
can cause the wheels to stop spinning while
power is still being supplied to the motors.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure
that the motor harness connector is plugged
in tightly to the battery, and that there are no
loose wires around the motor.
An old or improperly cared battery may be
dead.
A new battery should have been charged for
at least 12 hours before using the vehicle for
the first time. After that, it must be recharge
the battery for at least 8-10 hours after each
use. Never charge longer than 24 hours.
Check all connectors; make sure the charger
is plugged into the wall. Make sure the power
flow to the outlet is on.
You must have a volt meter in order to tell
whether the charger is working or not.
When exposed to water or moisture,
electricity can become corroded, or can jam
due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure that
the motor harness connector is plugged into the
