vapors could cause an explosion or a fire.Keep all
flammable products in tightly sealed containers and
away from the vehicle.

Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to
drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their
judgment skills are still very immature.Unsuper vised
driving by children can lead to serious injury.Before chil-
dren use this vehicle, an adult should carefully evaluate
the driving area as well as the children’s skill level and
ability to drive this vehicle safely.Children are not always
able to recognize or anticipate hazards, even when they
have been taught about them.There is no acceptable
substitute for adult supervision.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allow-
ing operation of this vehicle.These rules should also be
reviewed with neighborhood children or other playmates
who want to drive this vehicle.
1. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street
or near moving (motorized) vehicles.
2. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water
(such as pools or creeks), obstructions (such as furni-
ture, low tree limbs or play equipment), or drop-offs
(such as stairs or decks).
3. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark.
A child could encounter unexpected obstacles and
have an accident.Operate the vehicle only in the
daytime or in a well-lit area.
4. Teach your child to avoid driving on steep inclines or
slopes.Restrict your child’s driving to areas that are
fairly level with gentle inclines or slopes of no more
than 10°.
•While driving down a steep slope, the vehicle may
gain unsafe speed, even if the foot pedal is released
to stop.
•While driving across a steep slope, the vehicle may
tilt and tip over.The wheels could lose traction,
causing the vehicle to slip.
•While driving up a steep incline, the motor may stop
and the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe
speed.
