Rules for Safe Driving
Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgement skills are still very immature. Unsupervised dri- ving by children can lead to serious injury. Before children use the Rock & Roll, 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 sub- stitute 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.

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
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°.

8.Do not operate the vehicle near flammable vapors (gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.). The vehicle’s electrical switches, like most electrical switches, emit an internal spark when first turned on or turned off. The presence of flammable liquids or vapors could cause an explosion or a fire. Keep all flammable products in tightly sealed containers and away from the vehicle.
9.Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without proper adult supervision. To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.
