MAINTENANCE AND VEHICLE

CARE

For the safety of the child, before starting up the
vehicle read and carefully follow the following
instructions.
• Teach the child how to use the vehicle properly for

safe and enjoyable driving.

• The toy must be used with caution, as it requires

substantial dexterity in order to avoid falls or
collisions which could cause injuries to the user or
third parties.

• Before starting, check that there are no people or

objects obstructing the vehicle’s path.

• Drive with hands on the handlebars/steering wheel

and always watch the road ahead.

• Brake in good time to avoid collisions.

ATTENTION! 

The item is equipped with a brake

system which needs to be appropriately illustrated to
the child by an adult.

2nd GEAR (if present)

Initially, use in 1st gear is recommended. Before
enabling 2nd gear, check that the child has learned to
use the handlebars/steering wheel, 1st gear and the
brake correctly, and has become familiar with the
vehicle.

WARNING!

• Check that all the wheel fixing studs/nuts are

fastened properly.

• If the vehicle is overloaded, as can happen on soft

sand, mud, or very uneven ground, the overload
switch will immediately disconnect the power. The
