• Check all nuts, bolts, and their protective coverings regu-
larly 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 batteries 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 auto-
motive wax. Do not use soap and water or spray the vehi-
cle 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 28 for the list of authorized service centers or
call 1-800-348-0751 for the location of the authorized
service center nearest you.
Before you connect the high speed hook-up, make sure
your child knows how to start and stop the vehicle and
knows the rules for safe driving. When the high speed
hook-up is connected, the vehicle can be driven forward in
low speed (2
1
/
2
mph, maximum) or high speed (5 mph,
maximum).
•Remove the seat.
•Plug the high speed connectors together.
•Re-assemble the seat.
Please Note: To avoid damaging the motors and gears,
make sure to stop the vehicle before switching
speeds.

vehicle to drive in high speed.
• Push the top button on the FORWARD/REVERSE

ward at a maximum of 5 mph.

• Stopping in high speed is the same as stopping in low
speed. When your child’s foot is lifted from the pedal, the
vehicle automatically stops.
• Backing up in high speed is the same as backing up in
low speed. The LOW/HIGH switch can be in either the
LOW or HIGH position because the vehicle speed in
reverse is always 2
1
/
2
mph, maximum.
