6. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark. A
child could 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. Restrict your child’s driving to generally level
ground ONLY!
8. Do not allow your child to drive down or across a
steep slope.
- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the pedal
is released to stop.
- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.
- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle to
slip.
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.
10. Never put anything near any moving parts. Rotating
parts such as motors, gear boxes and wheels can snag
fingers, hair, etc., causing serious injury. Do not allow
operation of the vehicle when it is on 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
products 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.
