•Check all screws, cap nut and their protective coverings
regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic parts on
a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.
•During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be stored
inside or under a protective cover. Remember to charge the
battery at least once per month while your vehicle is not in
regular use.
•Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions, and
do not spray the vehicle with a hose. Do not wash the
vehicle with soap and water. Water or moisture in the motors
or electrical switches can cause them to corrode, and could
cause switch or motor failure.
•Avoid operating the vehicle on sand, loose dirt or
gravel. Sand, loose dirt or gravel in the motors or electrical
switches can cause them to jam, and could cause switch
or motor failure.
•The vehicle can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth.
For a shiny finish, you can wipe plastic parts with a non-wax
furniture polish applied to a soft-cloth. Do not use auto-
motive wax. Do not use soap and water or spray the vehicle
with a hose.
•To ensure that your vehicle stays in good operating order,
we recommend that you periodically have your vehicle
checked by a Power Wheels
®
authorized service center.
