• Driving your truck for long periods of time can
generate a high heat level, which causes wear
and tear on the motor. To help keep heat levels
down, when your vehicle’s battery power dies,
let it cool for at least 10 minutes before installing
new batteries.
• Do not touch the motor immediately after using
the truck, as it may become hot during use.
• If your truck’s motor runs, but does not respond
to the transmitter, move closer to the vehicle
and try again.
• If someone uses a CB nearby, it might interfere
with the control of your truck. If this happens,
move the vehicle away from the CB.
• You cannot operate your truck near devices with
transmitters that use the same frequency as
your vehicle (27 MHz or 49 MHz). Check the box
to see which frequency you have.
• If the truck moves slowly, or not at all, and you
have installed new batteries, check the wheel
mechanism for lint, dust, hair or thread.
• When the transmitter’s range decreases, replace
its battery.
• The truck might make a popping or grinding
noise when you slide the gear control switch.
This is normal.
• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn
or bury batteries.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Do not use batteries of different types capacities, or
chemistry.
• If you do not plan to use the toy for several days, remove
the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage
electronic parts.
• Batteries purchased for use in this toy may pose hazard
to children. Please check the safety notice supplied with
batteries before use.
• Do not recharge a battery pack immediately after use (while
it is still hot). Allow it to cool fi rst.
• Do not overcharge the battery. Overcharging the battery
pack might damage it.
• Do not charge the battery pack while it is still in the truck.
• Make sure the battery compartment cover is secure before
driving the truck.
