Package Contents
- 1 x Maxx Action 16" Dozer Truck
- 3 x AA Batteries (pre-installed)
Getting Started (Setup)
- Battery Installation: The dozer comes with 3 AA batteries pre-installed. If replacement is needed, locate the battery compartment on the underside of the vehicle. Use a screwdriver to open the compartment, insert new AA batteries observing polarity (+/-), and secure the cover.
- Power On: Locate the power switch, typically on the control panel or underside. Switch it to the 'ON' position.
- Exiting Try-Me Mode: The dozer may be in 'Try-Me' mode for demonstration purposes. To enable full functionality, locate the switch on the side of the dozer, usually near the tracks, and switch it from 'Try-Me' to 'Play' or 'On' mode. This allows for complete control via the joysticks.

Joystick Controls
- Red Joystick (Movement): This joystick controls the forward and backward motion of the dozer. Push it forward to move the dozer forward, and pull it backward to move in reverse.
- Blue Joystick (Bucket Control): This joystick operates the front bucket. Push it forward to lower the bucket for digging or scooping, and pull it backward to lift the bucket.
Drive Modes
The dozer offers two drive modes for varied play:
- Manual Mode: Provides full control over the dozer's movement and bucket operation using the joysticks.
- Automatic Mode: Press the 'Auto' button to engage automatic movement. The dozer will move forward and backward on its own, allowing for continuous play without constant joystick input.
Lights and Sounds
The dozer is equipped with realistic construction sounds and bright lights that activate during operation, enhancing the immersive play experience.
