Peg-Perego Polaris Sportsman 850 - Manual (Page 11)

DON'T STOP THE FUN: purchase a spare battery to have a freshly charged back-up available.
For your child’s safety: please read and follow all instructions below before operating.
HIGH SPEED
Initially we suggest using only the LOW speed setting and the reverse gear. Before moving into HIGH speed setting be
sure that the child has become familiar with operating the vehicle.
•LOW SPEEDsetting (beginner drivers):
With both hands on the handlebar, press down on the accelerator pedal; the vehicle goes forward at 3.5 mph.
•HIGH SPEEDsetting (experienced drivers):
With both hands on the handlebar, press down on the accelerator pedal; the vehicle starts out at 3.5 and then goes
forward at 7 mph. Let up on the accelerator pedal halfway and the vehicle will “downshift” to 3.5 mph.
•REVERSE:
Place the left hand on the handlebar. With the right hand holding the gearshift in reverse, press down on the
accelerator pedal; the vehicle reverses at 3.5 mph. (Reverse is spring-loaded for safety).
•BRAKE: The electric braking system stops the vehicle automatically when your child lifts his foot off the pedal.
Teach your child the proper use of this vehicle for a safe and fun play time.
• Before starting be sure that the way is free from people and objects.
• Drive with both hands on the handlebar and keep your eyes on the road at all times.
• Stop in time to avoid accidents and immediately release pedal when stuck.
•Use the 2nd speed only after your child has the maturity and the reflexes to operate the vehicle safely.
CAUTION:
• In low speed, the vehicle has a differential effect like real cars; on smooth terrain and with one
child, the two wheels may turn at different speeds, resulting in possible sliding/deceleration.
• If the vehicle is overloaded, as can happen on soft sand, mud, or very uneven ground, the overload
switch will immediately disconnect the power. The power supply will be restored after a few
seconds.
