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 .

pools or creeks), obstructions (such as furniture, low tree limbs
or play equipment), or drop-offs (such as stairs or decks) .

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 .

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 .

motors, gear boxes and wheels can snag fingers, hair, etc ., causing

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 prod-
ucts 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 .
