INTRODUCTION, SAFETY, AND
WARNINGS

ABOUT THIS MANUAL: This Manual was written to help you and your child get the
most performance, comfort, enjoyment and safety when riding your new electric ride­on 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 or
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 ride­on 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.

WARNING To reduce risk of injury, adult supervision is required. Never use

in roadways, near motor vehicles, on or near steep inclines or steps, swimming pools
or other bodies of water; always wear shoes, and never allow more than one (1) rider.

WARNING CHOKING HAZARD-Small parts not suitable for children under 3

years old.

RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE.

This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of
failing to inspect, maintain or properly use your electric ride-on toy. Because any fall
can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible
serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned in this manual or the
risk of falling leads to a warning.

ALWAYS USE PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND RIDING ATTIRE.

Always use appropriate safety equipment, including a helmet. A helmet is not only a
good idea but may be legally required in your community. To protect yourself or your

child, the helmet must meet CPSC, 16 CFR 1203, requirements and be worn correctly.

3

Always wear appropriate clothing and shoes, including long sleeved shirts and long
pants and lace-up or similar shoes with rubber soles. 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 pounds (29.5kg) and MUST
BE OVER 3 years old.

The age grade for the electric ride-on toy is for ages 3-8 years. 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 ride­on 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 insure 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.
