IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING
This battery powered model truck is not intended for use
persons under 18 years of age without the supervision
of a responsible and knowledgeable adult. NOT A TOY.
CHOKING HAZARD. Small parts. Keep out of the reach
of children. Adult supervision required.
Always operate outdoors, with adequate space. Do
not drive truck on public roads, in parking lots, or in
crowds of pedestrians.
Do not operate this product in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. The truck could create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Operate truck away from children under the age of 18,
bystanders, and pets. Never chase people or animals.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
HOT PARTS.Electric motor and other vehicle parts can
cause burns after vehicle operation. Allow time to cool
before touching motor and other parts.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts or
performing maintenance. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
Be aware of possible hazards when not using your
truck or when changing accessories. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
Do not expose battery products to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a battery product will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Use battery only with charger listed. For use with 18 V
lithium-ion battery packs, see tool/appliance/battery
pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating this product. Do not use this
product while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating this product may result in serious personal
injury.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to battery pack,
picking up or carrying the product. Carrying battery
products with your finger on the switch or energizing
battery products that have the switch on invites accidents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the battery
product in unexpected situations.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
product in unexpected situations.
Do not use the product if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any product that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the battery pack from the product before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing battery products. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the product
accidentally.
Store idle battery products out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the product
or these instructions to operate the product. Battery
products are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain the product. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the product’s
operation. If damaged, have the product repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained products.
BATTERY PRODUCT USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use battery products only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries.
Rechargeable batteries are to be charged only under
adult supervision.
Exhausted batteries should be removed from the
vehicle and the controller.
Remove the battery pack when the vehicle is not in
use. Some battery packs can leak chemicals that can
damage electronic parts.

ON/OFF SWITCHES
See Figure 2, page 9.
Both the truck and controller have an ON/OFF switch.
The controller switch is located on its handle. When the
controller is turned ON, the green LED glows.
The truck ON/OFF switch is located on the underside of
the truck.
Always turn both switches to the OFF position before remov-
ing or changing batteries, or when the truck is not in use.
USING THE CONTROLLER
See Figures 3 - 4, page 10.
The controller is powered by 2 AAA batteries. You will need
to install the 2 AAA batteries before using the controller.
Always turn the switches for the truck and the controller
to the OFF position when installing the battery in the
controller.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen screw holding the
battery compartment cover in place.
Lift the tab to remove the battery cover from the controller.
Install 2 AAA batteries according to polarity indicators
(+ or -) inside the battery compartment.
Replace and secure the battery cover.
When there is a charged battery pack in the truck and the
ON/OFF switch is in the ON position, turning the controller
ON will allow it to pair with the truck. You may then use the
controller to drive and steer the truck.
NOTE: To pair a second truck and controller, turn the second
truck switch ON and then turn the second controller switch
ON. Repeat this sequence for each additional vehicle. The
truck will pair with the nearest controller when it is turned on.
If the truck becomes difficult to control, the AAA batteries
may need to be replaced.
STEERING TRIM ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 3, page 10.
Before pulling the throttle trigger, check the steering trim.
The wheels should be directed straight ahead, to prevent
the truck from veering to the left or right when the throttle
trigger is pulled.
Steering trim should be checked and adjusted periodically
for maximum performance and control.
The steering trim can be adjusted if the truck veers to the
left or right when you are driving it straight ahead.
Set the truck on a box or block so that the wheels do not
touch the ground. Do not touch the wheels while you are
making adjustments.
If the truck is veering to the left: turn the trim adjuster
to the right.
If the truck is veering to the right: turn the trim adjuster
to the left.
VARIABLE SPEED THROTTLE TRIGGER
See Figure 3, page 10.
The variable speed throttle trigger controls the speed of the
truck and forward/reverse function. The more you pull or
push the trigger, the more you increase speed.
To drive forward: pull the throttle trigger back.
To brake: push the throttle trigger forward.
To drive in reverse: push the throttle trigger forward.
STEERING WHEEL
See Figure 3, page 10.
The steering wheel turns the truck right or left. The further
you turn the wheel, the sharper the truck will turn.
Release the wheel to go straight.
DRIVING
See Figure 5, page 10.
The truck can reach a top speed of 20 mph. To become
familiar with the truck’s operation, complete the driving
lesson below when driving the truck for the first time. Take
your time and drive slowly until you are comfortable with all
the features.
WARNING:
To prevent serious injury or property damage, always
keep the truck within sight during operation. Always
operate outdoors, with adequate space, and away from
people and pets. Do not drive truck on public roads, in
parking lots, or in crowds of pedestrians.
