6. Do not operate this vehicle with more than one rider,
seated on 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.
7. Always wear shoes or sneakers when operating
this vehicle.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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
batteries when the vehicle is not in use.

Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to
drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their
judgment 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 stepping on the foot pedal
when climbing on and off the vehicle. Stepping on the
foot pedal will cause the vehicle to move suddenly,
possibly resulting in injury. Make sure your child is
properly seated on the vehicle before pressing the
foot pedal.
5. 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 one rider.
• The rider should sit on the seat when
the vehicle is in operation.
• Improper use of this vehicle could lead
to a serious or fatal accident. Allow
children to play with this vehicle only
when you have determined that they
can do so safely. Follow all instructions
to help your child enjoy this vehicle as
safely as possible.
