Operating Instructions

This pedal-powered vehicle is designed for outdoor use on flat, stable surfaces. Always ensure the child is wearing appropriate footwear.

• Pedal Operation: The child sits on the seat and uses their feet to push the pedals in a circular motion, similar to a bicycle, to propel the tractor forward or backward.
• Steering: The steering wheel controls the direction of the front wheels. Turn the wheel left to go left, and right to go right. The integrated horn can be pressed for sound.
• Front Loader: The front loader is operated manually. Use the handle and lever to raise, lower, and tilt the bucket for scooping and dumping materials like sand or leaves.
• Rear Excavator: The rear excavator is fully articulated. Use the handle and lever to manipulate the arm and bucket for digging and moving materials.
• Trailer Use: The detachable trailer can be used to transport small items. Ensure the trailer is securely attached to the tractor's hitch before loading.
