The vehicle was pre-set to run only in low speed.
To allow the vehicle to run in low and high speed, you
must disconnect the High Speed Lock-Out. Follow the
instructions on page 24 to remove the High
Speed Lock-Out screw.
It is possible that only one rear wheel may spin when both
rear wheels are raised off the ground and the vehicle is in
low speed. This does not necessarily indicate a problem.
Check for proper operation of the drive system by raising
the rear wheels off the ground and pressing the foot pedal.
If only one rear wheel spins, carefully press your hand on
the spinning wheel to slow it down. The other rear wheel
should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel does not begin
to spin, there may be a problem with the vehicle. Contact
your local Power Wheels
diagnosis and repair.
Check all wires around the motors and all connectors to
make sure they are tight.
