• 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 batteries 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.
• 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.
See page 24 for the list of authorized service centers or
call 1-800-348-0751 for the location of the authorized
service center nearest you.
• Before you disconnect the high speed lock-out, make
sure your child knows how to steer, how to start and stop
the vehicle and knows the rules for safe driving. When
the high speed lock-out is disconnected, the vehicle can
be driven forward in low speed (2
1 / 2 mph, maximum) or
high speed (5 mph, maximum).
• Make sure the shifter is in the reverse ( ) position.
• Loosen the screw in the shifter box using a Phillips
screwdriver.
• Remove the screw. Keep the screw in a safe place
out of children’s reach for future use. You can re-insert
the screw into the shifter box if you want to lock-out
high speed and allow operation of the vehicle in low
speed only.
