MAINTENANCE AND VEHICLE CARE
• The toy should not be left anywhere with a
temperature below 0°C. If it were to be used
without being warmed up to a temperature above
0°C, irreversible damage could be caused to the
motors and batteries.
• Check the condition of the vehicle regularly, paying
particular attention to the electrical system, the
plug connections, the terminal protectors and the
battery charger. If defects are identified, the
electrical vehicle and the battery charger must not
be used. For repairs use only original PEG
PEREGO spare parts.
• PEG PEREGO do not accept any responsibility for
cases of tampering with the electrical system.
• Do not leave the batteries or the vehicle close to
sources of heat like radiators, fireplaces, etc.
• Protect the vehicle from water, rain, snow, etc.
Using the vehicle on sand or mud may damage the
buttons, motors and gears.
• Lubricate moving parts like bearings, steering, etc.
periodically with light oil.
• The vehicle surfaces can be cleaned with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, with non-abrasive domestic
cleaning products.
• Cleaning must only be carried out by adults.
• Never dismantle the vehicle mechanisms or
motors, unless authorized by PEG PEREGO.

RULES FOR SAFE DRIVING

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
power supply will be restored after a few seconds.
• Only for 12 and 24 Volt vehicles: in first gear the
vehicle has a differential effect like a real motor
vehicle; on smooth terrain and with just one child
on board, the two wheels can turn at different
speeds and they can slip and slow down.
UNINTERRUPTED FUN: Keep a spare set of charged
batteries ready for use.
PROBLEMS?
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK?
• Check the operation of the accelerator button and
replace it if necessary.
• Check that the battery is connected to the
electrical system.
THE VEHICLE LACKS POWER?
• Charge the batteries. If after charging the problem
persists, have the battery and charger checked by
an assistance centre.
