Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the vehicle clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic. Do not spray water directly onto electrical components.

Battery Care

Charge the battery fully before the first use (8-12 hours). After each use, recharge the battery for 8-12 hours. Do not overcharge the battery (do not exceed 18 hours). If the vehicle will not be used for an extended period, disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge the battery every 3 months to maintain its lifespan.

Tire and Component Inspection

Regularly inspect the tires for wear and tear. Check all nuts, bolts, and screws to ensure they are tight. Inspect wiring for any damage or loose connections. If any issues are found, discontinue use until repairs are made.

Troubleshooting

• Vehicle does not move: Check if the power switch is ON. Ensure the battery is connected and fully charged. Verify that the R/C (remote control) / Pedal switch is in the correct position. Check for any loose wiring connections.
• Vehicle moves slowly: The battery may be low and requires charging. The vehicle might be overloaded (exceeding 66 lbs). Check for any obstructions in the wheels or motor.
• Remote control not working: Ensure batteries are installed correctly in the remote and are not depleted. Check if the remote is paired with the vehicle according to the pairing instructions (usually involves holding a button on the remote while the vehicle is off, then turning the vehicle on).
• Lights or music not working: Check the battery level. Ensure all connections are secure. Some functions may have separate power switches.
• Unusual noises: Stop operation immediately. Inspect for loose parts, foreign objects caught in the wheels or motor, or damaged gears. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
