least 18 hours before first use.

damage to the motors and switches, do not
operate the vehicle on loose dirt, gravel or sand.

Monster Sound BIGFOOT

has a special
circuit-breaker in the wiring to protect the motors
and electrical system. If the vehicle is put under
extreme load (driving on rough surfaces, too much
weight, climbing too steep of an incline), the circuit-
breaker will shut the electrical system down for up to
20 seconds. If the system repeatedly shuts down, the
driving conditions may be too demanding (ie: too
steep or too much weight).
• Metal parts have been coated with a lubricant to
protect them during shipment. Wipe all metal parts
with a paper towel to remove any excess lubricant.
