• Squeeze the dump lever on the dump bed and pull up
on the lever.
• Push down on the dump bed lever to return the dump
bed to the upright position.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• When using the dump bed, take care to keep fingers
away from the dump lever latch opening.
• Keep children and animals out of the dump bed.
• Do not overload the dump bed by loading more than 20
lbs. in the dump bed. Remember that the dump bed will
automatically dump any load over 20 lbs. Do not defeat
the auto-dump feature.
• Do not lean over the dump bed while it is in operation.
• Make sure there is no one standing behind the dump
bed when loading or unloading.
• Keep fingers and other body parts out from under the
dump bed area and away from the area between the
dump bed and the seat.
• Check all nuts, bolts, and their protective coverings regu-
larly 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 vehi-
cle with a hose.
• Regular cleaning under the dump bed will prevent exces-
sive dirt from coming into contact with the motor and
gearbox. Remove the dump bed from the vehicle and
clean the area by vacuuming or by wiping the area with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not spray the vehicle with water. To
remove the dump bed:
- Place the dump bed in the unloading position.
- Squeeze the hinge pin endcaps toward the center of the
dump bed.
- Lift the dump bed to remove it.
• To ensure that your vehicle stays in good operating order,
we recommend that you periodically have your vehicle
checked by a Power Wheels
