Charging

ONLY AN ADULT CAN CHARGE AND RECHARGE THE BATTERY!

WARNING!

PREVENT FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK:

• Use only the rechargeable battery and charger supplied with your vehicle. NEVER substitute the battery or charger with another brand, as this may cause fire or explosion.
• Do not use the battery or charger for any other product. Overheating, fire, or explosion could occur.
• NEVER modify the electric circuit system. Tampering may cause shock, fire, explosion, or permanent damage.
• Do not allow direct contact between battery terminals, as this can cause fire or explosion.
• Do not allow any liquid on the battery or its components.
• Explosive gases are created during charging. Do not charge near heat or flammable materials. Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area ONLY.
• NEVER pick up the battery by the wires or charger. Damage can occur, potentially causing fire. Pick up the battery by the case ONLY.
• Charge the battery in a dry area ONLY.
• Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
• Do not open the battery. It contains lead acid and other toxic/corrosive materials.
• Do not open the charger. Exposed wiring may cause electric shock. Only adults may handle or charge the battery.
• Battery is heavy and contains lead acid (electrolyte).
• Do not drop the battery. Permanent damage or serious injury could occur.
• Before charging, check the battery, charger, supply cord, and connectors for wear or damage. DO NOT charge if any damage has occurred.
• Do not allow the battery to drain completely. Recharge after each use or once a month if not used regularly.
• Do not charge the battery upside down.
• Always secure the battery with the bracket. The battery can fall out and injure a child if the vehicle tips over.

Charging Procedure:

• The POWER SWITCH must be turned OFF when charging.
• Before first use, charge the battery for 4-6 hours. Do not recharge for more than 10 hours to avoid overheating the charger.
• When the vehicle begins to run slowly, recharge the battery.
• After each use or once a month, recharge for a minimum of 8 to 12 hours, not exceeding 20 hours.

Voltage Guide:

If your ride-on has a Digital voltmeter (OPTIONAL), the voltage will indicate the remaining battery power.

Charging Connection:

Description: Diagram shows the charging port and wall outlet connection. Find the socket as shown (labeled '1').

1. Plug the charger port into the input socket (located below the seat).
2. Plug the charger plug into a wall outlet. The battery will begin charging.

WARNING!

Always stop the vehicle when changing speed or direction to avoid damage to the gears and motor. Make sure your child knows how to steer, start, and stop the vehicle, and understands the rules for safe driving. The vehicle can be driven at a maximum of 3-5 km/h.

Battery Replacement & Fuse

The battery features a thermal fuse that will automatically trip and cut all power if the motor, electric system, or battery is overloaded. The fuse will reset after the unit is turned OFF for 20 seconds and then turned ON again. If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly, the vehicle may need repair. Contact your distributor.

To Avoid Losing Power, Follow These Guidelines:

• Do not overload the vehicle.
• Do not tow anything behind the vehicle.
• Do not drive up steep slopes.
• Do not drive into fixed objects, which may cause wheels to spin and the motor to overheat.
• Do not drive in very hot weather, as components may overheat.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with the battery or other electric components.
• Do not tamper with the electric system, as this may create a short and cause the fuse to trip.

Battery Replacement and Disposal:

The battery will eventually lose its ability to hold a charge. Depending on use and conditions, it should operate for one to three years. Follow these steps to replace and dispose of the battery:

1. Remove the car seat.
2. Disconnect the battery connectors.
3. Remove the battery bracket.
4. Remove the battery cover.
5. Carefully lift the battery. (Consider wearing protective gloves if the battery is leaking. Do not lift by connectors or cables.)
6. Place the dead battery in a plastic bag. Important! Recycle the dead battery responsibly. It contains lead acid and must be disposed of properly and legally. Take it to a federal or state-approved lead acid battery recycler, such as a local automotive battery retailer. Do not throw it away with regular household waste.
7. Replace the battery and reconnect the connectors.
8. Replace the metal battery bracket.
9. Replace the seat.

Troubleshooting Guide

Completely read through this manual and the troubleshooting guide table before calling. If you still need help resolving the problem, contact your distributor please.

Maintaining

• It is parents' responsibility to check main parts of the toy before using. Regularly examine for potential hazards such as the battery, charge cable or cord, plug, screws, and enclosure of other parts. If any damage is found, the toy must not be used until the damage has been properly removed.
• Make sure the plastic parts of the vehicle are not cracked or broken.
• Occasionally use a lightweight oil to lubricate moving parts such as wheels.
• Park the vehicle indoors or cover it with a tarp to protect it from wet weather.
• Keep the vehicle away from sources of heat, such as stoves and heaters, as plastic parts may melt.
• Recharge the battery after each use. Only an adult can handle the battery. Recharge the battery at least once a month when the vehicle is not being used.
• Do not wash the vehicle with a hose or soap and water. Do not drive the vehicle in rainy or snowy weather, as water will damage the motor, electric system, and battery.
• 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 or abrasive cleaners.
• Do not drive the vehicle in loose dirt, sand, or fine gravel, which could damage the moving parts, motors, or the electric system.
• When not using, turn off all electrical sources. Turn off the power switch and disconnect the battery connection.
