Rules For Safe Driving

10

°

Incline should never be 

more than 10°

5.

Do not operate this vehicle with more than one rider,
seated in 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.

6.

Always wear shoes or sneakers when operating 
this vehicle.

7.

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.

8. 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.

9.

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
battery when the vehicle is not in use. 

To disconnect the motor harness connector 
and battery connector:

• Press the tabs on the front of the seat and lift to

remove it.

• Squeeze the tabs on the motor harness connector to

unplug it from the battery connector.

• Re-assemble the seat.

Teach Safety Rules to Children

While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to
drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their
judgement skills are still very immature. Unsupervised
driving by children can lead to serious injury. Before
children use the vehicle an adult should carefully evaluate
the driving area as well as the children’s skill level and
ability to drive it 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 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.
