• Check all screws, cap nuts and their protective coverings

regularly 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 automotive wax. Do not use soap and water or spray
the vehicle 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.
