Charging the Battery & Circuit Board Precautions

You will want to fully charge your battery before placing it in the truck. You will need a USB port to charge your battery.

USB Indicator Guide

WARNING: The battery pack can become damaged or explode if charged too long. The charger uses a voltage limit protected device to prevent this, but avoid charging your battery for more than 24 continuous hours.
When the battery enters low voltage mode, your truck battery is low and the truck will not have as much power. It will need to be recharged. The vehicle should be turned off, and the truck battery should be removed before you begin charging it.
The vehicle's circuit board uses an overheating protection function. If it becomes too hot, the car will be disabled for 3-6 seconds before functionality is restored.

NOTE: You may notice the truck overheats unexpectedly. Wait a few seconds to let the battery and motor cool before driving again.

Operating the Power Pro 4x4

When you're ready to drive the Power Pro,
ALWAYS turn on the transmitter before turning on the vehicle.
When you're finished, ALWAYS turn the Power Pro off first before turning off the transmitter.
ALWAYS operate your vehicle in an open area. Using the vehicle indoors or on a slippery surface may cause a crash.
WARNING: The Power Pro is not waterproof. If water gets into the body of the truck and causes any form of damage, the manufacturer and seller will not be responsible for the damage. Customers assume full responsibility for repair or replacement of damaged parts.
ALWAYS begin driving the Power Pro at a lower speed, or the vehicle may slip.
NEVER operate the vehicle at maximum speed. Doing so may cause damage to yourself or to the vehicle.

IMPORTANT

Set the motor brushes by driving smoothly on a flat surface the first time you use the vehicle. If you don't do this, the motor performance and functional lifespan of the vehicle may be reduced.
Avoid sharp turns, sudden starts and stops, pushing objects, driving in water or tall grass, or driving continuously uphill. Doing this can cause the motor to overheat, reducing the vehicle's functional lifespan.
