Maintenance
General
The vehicle should be checked for damage, missing or badly worn parts before use.
• Check the tightness of the fasteners before each use.
• Check the tightness of the wheel nuts. Use a flat head screwdriver to gently pry off the hub caps.
Note:
If the wheel nuts are not tight the wheels will not engage the forward gears and the vehicle will
not run.
• Ensure the battery bracket is securely in place before use.
• Occasionally use lightweight oil to lubricate moving parts such as wheels and steering linkage. Do not use
oil on plastic or nylon parts. No lubrication is required.
• Store the vehicle indoors or cover it with a tarp to protect it from the wet weather. Keep it away from
sources of heat, such as stoves and heaters.
• Clean the vehicle with a soft, dry cloth. To restore shine to plastic parts, use a non-wax furniture polish.
Do not use car wax, abrasive cleaners or wash the vehicle with soap and water. Water will damage the
motor, electrical system and battery.
• KidTrax Toys recommends that you take the vehicle to an authorized service center for periodic
maintenance and service. Call KidTrax Toys Consumer Relations at 877-741-6154 for an authorized service
center.
Battery
Only an adult who has read and understands the safety warnings (see Assembly) should handle, charge
or recharge of the battery. Failure to comply with the following safety warnings may result in serious injury
or death.
Re-Charge Interval and Time
Important!
• Damage to the battery may occur if it is allowed to drain completely. Do not allow the battery to drain
completely.
• Check the battery and charger (supply chord, connector) for wear and damage before charging. Do not
charge the battery if damage has occurred. Only replace with a KidTrax Toys 12V rechargeable battery
and charger.
The battery should be charged after each use, or if not used regularly, once a month at a minimum. Charge
the battery for a full 24 hours. Do not charge the battery for more than 30 hours. Failure to charge the
battery as directed would cause permanent damage to the battery and will void the warranty.
