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
ride-on 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.

This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the
consequences of failing to inspect, maintain or properly use your electric

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.

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.

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
ride-on 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 ride­on toy, including observing all applicable laws, rules and common sense.
