• Use only the charger and battery pack supplied for this vehicle.
Do not over charge–when the battery pack becomes warm, remove
from charger. Do not leave charger unattended while charging.
Unplug charger immediately after charging battery.
• Improper use of battery may lead to dangers such as heat, breakage
or leakage which can cause skin and eye irritation or injury. Do not
cut or puncture the battery. Do not charge or store the battery close

Avoid operation on fine soil or sand. Do not store vehicle near heat
sources or fire.
STEP 3. Install battery in vehicle
• Make sure switch is off.
• Open the battery cover on the underside of vehicle.
• Check for positive and negative poles, then place charged 6V battery
in compartment. Close cover.
NOTE: You'll get about 20 minutes of operation with each charge—
depending on speed and terrain.
STEP 4. You're ready to roll!
Your J-7 Commando operates like a real tank. That means the front and
back wheels on each side work together to drive and steer.
• To move forward, push both left and right sticks forward (1).
• To reverse, push both sticks back (2).
• To turn left, push the right stick forward (3).
• To turn right, push the left stick forward (4).

the other stick back.
