Important Notes
•Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours before you use it in your vehicle for the first time.
•We recommend that you start charging your battery before beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.

Proper label application will help to keep the labels looking their best! When applying labels, keep the following guidelines in mind:
•Wash your hands before applying the labels.
• Before applying the labels, wipe the surface of the vehicle with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust or oils.
• Place the labels exactly as shown in the illustrations.
• For best results, avoid repositioning a label once it has been applied to the vehicle.
• After applying a label, rub the label firmly with a clean, dry cloth to make sure the label is adhered to your vehicle. Start at the center of a label, and smooth towards the outer edges to remove air bubbles.

If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See information below for proper disposal.
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.
If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia or egg whites immediately. Never give emetics or induce vomiting. Call a physician.
• Charge a new battery for at least 18 hours before first use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 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 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 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 vehicle has not been used.
•Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will ruin it.
• Always remove an exhausted battery from the vehicle. Battery leakage and corrosion can damage the vehicle.
• Do not store the battery on a surface (such as a kitchen countertop) which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you store the battery.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F or below -10° F.
•Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery compartment. Always use the battery clamp to secure the battery in the battery compartment.
• Examine the battery, charger and their connectors for excessive 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.
•Your Power Wheels

battery is a sealed lead-acid battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire. The battery may explode or leak.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in your regular, household trash. The incineration, landfilling or mixing of sealed lead-acid batteries with household trash is prohibited by law in most areas.
• Return exhausted batteries to a federal or state approved lead-acid battery recycler, such as a Power Wheels

• Check all screws, cap nuts and their protective coverings regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic parts on a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.
• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be stored inside or under a protective cover. Remember to charge the battery at least once per month while your vehicle is not in regular use.
•Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions, and do not spray the vehicle with a hose. Do not wash the vehicle with soap and water. Water or moisture in the motors or electrical switches can cause them to corrode, and could cause switch or motor failure.
•Avoid operating the vehicle on sand, loose dirt or gravel. Sand, loose dirt or gravel in the motors or electrical switches can cause them to jam, and could cause switch or motor failure.
• The vehicle can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth. For a shiny finish, you can wipe plastic parts with a non-wax furniture polish applied to a soft-cloth. Do not use auto­motive wax. Do not use soap and water or spray the vehicle with a hose.
•To ensure that your vehicle stays in good operating order, we recommend that you periodically have your vehicle checked by a Power Wheels®authorized service center. For the location of the authorized service center nearest to you, visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com.

Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgment skills are still very immature. Unsupervised driving by children can lead to serious injury. Before children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully evaluate the driving area as well as the children’s skill level and ability to drive this vehicle safely. Children are not always able to recognize or anticipate hazards, even when they have been taught about them.
THERE IS NO ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR DIRECT ADULT SUPERVISION.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing operation of this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed with neighborhood children or other playmates who want to drive this vehicle.
Riding Rules
Make sure children know and follow these rules for
safe driving:
1. Always sit on the seat.
2. Always wear shoes.
3. Only 1 (one) rider at a time. A child who is not sitting on the
seat or who is standing on the vehicle could fall off, cause a tip-over or block the driver’s view. A child could be seriously injured.
4. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near moving (motorized) vehicles.
5. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water (such as pools or creeks), obstructions (such as furniture, low tree limbs or play equipment), or drop-offs (such as stairs or decks).
6. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark. A child could encounter unexpected obstacles and have an accident. Operate the vehicle only in the daytime or a well-lit area.
7. Do not allow your child to drive on sloped or inclined surfaces. Restrict your child’s driving to generally
level ground ONLY!
8. Do not allow your child to drive down or across a steep slope.
- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the pedal
is released to stop.
- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.
- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle
to slip.
9. Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines. The motor may stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.
10. Never put anything near any moving parts. Rotating parts such as motors, gear boxes and wheels can snag fingers, hair, etc., causing serious injury. Do not allow operation of the vehicle when it is on its side or in an upside-down position.
11. Do not operate the vehicle near flammable vapors (gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.). The vehicle’s electrical switches, like most electrical switches, emit an internal spark when first turned on or turned off. The presence of flammable liquids or vapors could cause an explosion or a fire. Keep all flammable products in tightly sealed containers and away from the vehicle.
12. Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without direct adult supervision. To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.
WARNING
Prevent Injuries and Deaths
• Direct Adult Supervision Required.
•Keep Children Within Safe Riding Areas These areas must be:
- away from swimming pools and other bodies of water to prevent drownings.
- generally level to prevent tipovers.
- away from steps, driveways, cars, roads and alleys.
