This document is an owner's manual for a Pacific 12V Sport ATV, model numbers KT1166WMA and KT1166WMB. It provides instructions for assembly, use, and maintenance of the vehicle, emphasizing safety warnings and user requirements.
Function Description
The Pacific 12V Sport ATV is a recreational ride-on vehicle designed for children aged 3 years and older, with a maximum weight capacity of 88 lbs (40 kgs). It operates on a 12V rechargeable battery, allowing the user to drive the ATV in various settings. The vehicle is intended for personal use and provides an engaging driving experience for young children under continuous adult supervision. It features controls for forward and reverse motion, and likely includes options for different speed settings, as indicated by the presence of "HIGH SPEED" and "LOW SPEED" labels on the control panel. The ATV is designed to be driven on flat, hard surfaces, offering a stable and controlled environment for play.
Usage Features
The manual outlines several key usage features and safety guidelines:
- Adult Assembly and Supervision: The vehicle requires adult assembly, and its use must always be supervised by an adult. This ensures that the vehicle is correctly put together and operated safely.
- Battery Operation: The ATV is powered by a Kid Trax Toys 12V rechargeable battery. The manual provides detailed instructions on how to connect the battery, charge it, and maintain its condition. Charging typically takes 10 to 12 hours, with a maximum of 24 hours.
- Controls: The ATV features controls for movement, including forward and reverse. While not explicitly detailed, the illustrations suggest handlebar-mounted controls for steering and potentially speed selection.
- Rider Requirements: Only one rider is permitted on the vehicle at a time, and the child must always sit in the seat while operating it. Children under 3 years of age are not permitted to use the vehicle.
- Safe Operating Environment: The vehicle should be used in a safe, secure environment, away from streets, motor vehicles, drop-offs, water bodies (like swimming pools), sloped surfaces, hills, wet areas, and flammable vapors. It is designed for use on level ground and firm surfaces, avoiding loose dirt, mud, sand, or fine gravel, which could lead to unexpected actions like tipping or skidding.
- Personal Safety: Users are instructed to wear shoes, keep hands, hair, and clothing away from moving parts, and avoid wearing loose clothing.
- Pre-Use Check: Before each use, the child should understand the vehicle's controls and safety issues and demonstrate the capability to handle and operate it.
Maintenance Features
The manual provides comprehensive instructions for maintaining the ATV to ensure its longevity and safe operation:
- Pre-Use Inspection: Before each use, it is crucial to check the tightness of fasteners and wheels, and ensure the battery is securely in place.
- Lubrication: Lightweight oil should be occasionally used to lubricate moving parts such as wheels and steering linkage. However, oil should not be applied to plastic or nylon parts, as they do not require lubrication.
- Storage: To protect the vehicle from wet weather and prevent fading, it should be stored indoors or covered with a tarp. It should also be kept away from heat sources like stoves and heaters.
- Cleaning: The ATV should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. For plastic parts, a non-wax furniture polish can be used to restore shine. It is explicitly stated not to use car wax, abrasive cleaners, or wash the vehicle with a hose, soap, and water, as water can damage the motor, electrical system, and battery.
- Battery Care:
- The battery should not be allowed to drain completely, as this can cause damage.
- Before charging, the battery and charger (supply cord, connector) should be checked for wear and damage. If damage is found, the battery should not be charged and should only be replaced with a Kid Trax Toys 12V rechargeable battery and charger.
- Charging should occur in a well-ventilated area, away from heat or flammable materials, as explosive gases are created during charging.
- Direct contact between positive and negative terminals should be avoided to prevent fire or explosion. The battery should always be picked up by its case or handles, not by the wires or charger.
- All liquids should be kept away from the battery to prevent fire or electric shock.
- The battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, which are toxic and corrosive. The battery should never be opened.
- Professional Service: Kid Trax Toys recommends taking the vehicle to an authorized service center for periodic maintenance and service. Contact information for Consumer Relations is provided for assistance with troubleshooting, parts, and service.
- Troubleshooting Guide: A detailed troubleshooting guide is included to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as the vehicle not running, running sluggishly, or making unusual noises. This guide suggests possible causes and remedies, including recharging the battery, checking connections, or contacting customer service.
- Replacement Parts: A list of available replacement parts is provided, including wheels, hardware bag for wheel assembly, steering assembly, 12-volt Kid Trax battery, and battery charger. Model and serial numbers, found underneath the seat on the battery cover, are required when ordering parts.
