•ADULTS ONLY: After each use, or once a month minimum, charge the battery for a “full”

16 hours. DO NOT leave the battery on the charger for more than 30 hours. See pages 3

-4 for recharging instructions.

•Low battery signal will sound when the battery is running low on power. A “beeping”

sound will interrupt the “engine running” sound until the battery is recharged. See pages 3

-4 for recharging instructions.

•The Kid Trax 12-volt battery will eventually lose the ability to hold a charge. Depending

on the amount of use, and varying conditions, the battery should operate for one to

three years.

•DO NOT leave the battery in the Corvette Race Car for long periods of time unused.

Battery may drain completely, causing permanent damage. Disconnect the battery

connector from the battery.

•ADULTS ONLY: Handle the battery with care. DO NOT drop the battery. Permanent

damage to the battery could occur.

•If the battery is removed from the Corvette Race Car and stored, DO NOT store the

battery where temperatures are over 75ºF (24ºC) or under -10ºF (-24ºC).

•It is best to leave the battery in the battery compartment of the vehicle for long

storage periods. If you cannot do this or have a multiple batteries, please store the

battery on a wood surface to avoid cement floor surface discharge. Always wipe the

battery clean with a dry cloth prior to storage. You will still need to charge your

battery once each month (16 hours) during long storage periods to ensure battery life.

•If the battery leaks or has completely discharged, it is no longer usable. Remove the

battery according to the instructions on pages 20 and 21 and place it in a plastic bag. See

page 21 for disposal directions. Replace the battery with a Kid Trax 12-volt battery

ONLY. See page 26 to reorder parts.

•If the battery leaks, DO NOT allow acid from the battery to contact skin or eyes. If this

happens, call your physician immediately. Flush with cool water for 15 minutes.

•If the battery leaks, DO NOT ingest acid. If this happens, call your physician immediately.

Give water, milk of magnesia or egg whites. DO NOT induce vomiting.

•The Kid Trax 12-volt battery features a thermal fuse with a reset fuse in the battery

connector that will automatically trip and cut all power to the Corvette Race Car if the

motor, electrical system or battery is overloaded. The fuse will reset and power will be

restored after approximately 15 seconds. To avoid losing power, follow these guidelines:

DO NOT overload the Corvette Race Car. Maximum weight allowed: 130 lbs. (59 kg).

- DO NOT tow anything behind the Corvette Race Car.

- DO NOT drive up steep slopes.

- DO NOT drive into fixed objects, which may cause the wheels to spin, causing the

motor to overheat.

- DO NOT drive in very hot weather; components may overheat.

- DO NOT allow water or other liquids to come in contact with the battery or other

electrical components.

- DO NOT tamper with the electrical system. Doing so may create a short, causing the

fuse to trip.

If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal use, your Corvette Race Car may need

repair. Call Pacific Cycle Inc. Consumer Relations at (877) 741-6154 for an authorized

service center.
