Rules for Safe Driving
J
5. Do not operate this vehicle with more than two riders;
one driver and one passenger seated in the seating
area. 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.
6. Always wear shoes or sneakers when operating
this vehicle.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without
proper adult supervision. To prevent unsupervised use of
the vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the
battery when the vehicle is not in use.
To disconnect the motor harness connector and
battery:
• Raise the hood to access the battery.
• Unplug the motor harness connector from the battery.
• Lower the hood and fasten the hood latches.
Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to
drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their
judgement 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 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.
1. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or
near moving (motorized) vehicles.
2. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water
(such as pools or creeks), obstructions (such as
furniture, low tree limbs or play equipment), or drop-offs
(such as stairs or decks).
3. 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 in
a well-lit area.
4. Teach your child to avoid driving on steep inclines or
slopes. Restrict your child’s driving to areas that are fairly
level with gentle inclines or slopes of no more than 10°.
• While driving down a steep slope, the vehicle may
gain unsafe speed, even if the foot pedal is released
to stop.
• While driving across a steep slope, the vehicle may tilt
and tip over. The wheels could lose traction,
causing the vehicle to slip.
• While driving up a steep incline, the motor may stop
and the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.
WARNING
• Adult supervision is required. Children do
not have the judgement necessary to avoid
many accidents. Be sure that children
operating this vehicle can do so safely and
that they are supervised at all times.
• Never use near steps, driveways, steep
inclines, roadways, alleys, swimming pool
areas or other bodies of water.
• Always wear shoes or sneakers when
operating this vehicle.
• Never allow more than two riders; one driver
and one passenger.
• The riders should sit on the seat when the
vehicle is in operation.
10°
