Fisher-Price BARBIE 76980 - Manual (Page 25)

• 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
riding 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.
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 the Barbie
™ Songbird ATV ,
an adult should carefully evaluate the driving area as
well as the child’s skill level and ability to drive this
vehicle safely. Children are not always able to recog-
nize or anticipate hazards, even when they have
been taught about them. There is no acceptable sub-
stitute for adult supervision.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before
you allow operation of this vehicle. These rules should
also be reviewed with neighborhood children or other
playmates who want to drive this vehicle.
• To avoid damaging motors and gears, do
not overload the vehicle.
- Never allow more than one child on the
vehicle at one time.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight
capacity of 40 lbs.
- Do not tow anything behind this vehicle.
The extra weight may overload the
vehicle.
• 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
motor 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 and gravel
in the electrical switches or motor can
cause them to jam, and could cause
switch or motor failure. Use your vehicle on
grass, asphalt or other hard surfaces.
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 handlebar
button is released to stop.
