Need help?Do you have a question about the Rollplay W488AC and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is an owner's manual and assembly instructions for a 6V Mercedes-Benz ride-on vehicle manufactured by Rollplay. It provides comprehensive information for adult assembly, safe operation, and maintenance of the toy vehicle.
The Rollplay 6V Mercedes-Benz is a battery-powered ride-on toy vehicle designed for children. It allows a single rider to operate the vehicle using a foot pedal for acceleration and a steering wheel for direction. The vehicle features forward and reverse gears, a functional radio, and a battery power indicator to monitor charge levels. It is intended for recreational use on level, safe surfaces under direct adult supervision. The steering wheel also includes buttons for sound effects, adding to the interactive play experience.
The vehicle's operation is straightforward, designed for ease of use by young children under adult guidance. To start, the power switch must be pushed to turn on the car. The foot pedal controls movement: pressing it down makes the car go, and releasing it brings the car to a stop. A shift handle allows the rider to select between forward and reverse gears by pushing it up for forward motion and down for reverse.
The steering wheel provides directional control, allowing the child to steer the vehicle. It also incorporates buttons that activate various sound effects, enhancing the play experience. For entertainment, the vehicle includes a radio function, which is activated by sliding a dedicated radio switch. Channel switch buttons are provided to change radio stations. Additionally, an MP3 jack is available, allowing an external MP3 device to be connected to the vehicle for playing music. The vehicle must be turned on for the MP3 function to work.
A battery power indicator is a crucial feature, allowing users to check the battery's charge level. When the car is on, pressing the power indicator button illuminates lights to show the battery status: green, yellow, and red lights indicate a fully charged battery; yellow and red lights signal a low battery; and a red light specifically indicates that the battery level is below 5.5V and requires recharging.
Safety is paramount, and the manual emphasizes several rules for usage. The vehicle is designed for a single rider who must be at least 3 years old and within the specified weight limit. Riders are always required to wear a fitted helmet that complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Standard CFR 1203. The vehicle should only be operated while sitting on the seat, and overloading is strictly prohibited. Users must keep body parts, hair, and clothing away from moving parts to prevent injury. Shoes must always be worn.
The manual also outlines environmental restrictions for safe operation. The vehicle should never be used near streets, motor vehicles, drop-offs, steep inclines, hills, water, swimming pools, or other fluids. Operation in dangerous weather conditions like rain or snow, or near loose dirt, mud, sand, fine gravel, or flammable vapors (such as gasoline or paint thinner), is forbidden. The vehicle must always be used in a safe, secure environment with direct adult supervision, and children should never be left unattended while in the vehicle.
Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and safe operation of the Rollplay 6V Mercedes-Benz. The manual provides detailed instructions for battery charging, general care, and troubleshooting.
Before the first use, the battery must be charged for a full 24 hours, but no more than 30 hours. After each subsequent use, the battery should be charged immediately for at least 8-12 hours, but not exceeding 20 hours. Even when not in use, the battery should be charged at least once a month to maintain its condition. The charging process involves ensuring the car is stopped and turned off, unlocking and removing the seat, unplugging the red battery connector from the red engine connector, connecting the red battery connector to the red battery charger connector, and plugging the charger into a 120V outlet. To unplug, the charger is first removed from the outlet, then the battery connector is unplugged, reconnected to the engine connector, and the seat is replaced. While it's not always necessary to remove the battery for charging, instructions are provided for its removal if the outlet is not easily accessible.
The manual highlights important battery safety information, stating that only an adult who understands the safety warnings should handle and operate the battery and charger. The battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compound chemicals, and the battery should not be opened. In case of contact exposure to battery leakage, immediate medical attention is required, along with flushing the affected skin area with cool water for 15 minutes or, if swallowed, immediately giving water or milk (unless vomiting or decreased alertness) and not inducing vomiting. Tampering with or modifying the electric circuit system is warned against, as it can cause shock, fire, or explosion and permanently damage the system. The charger housing should be kept closed to prevent exposed wiring.
Only the specified charger should be used with the vehicle; charging with any other charger or attempting to recharge non-rechargeable batteries is prohibited. Replacing the battery with any other type will void the warranty. Damaged batteries must be removed immediately and disposed of responsibly. Short-circuiting the supply terminals is forbidden. When the vehicle is not in use for extended periods, the battery should be disconnected from the engine connector before storage. The vehicle is equipped with a thermal fuse to protect the electric circuit; if the vehicle cuts out, turning it off and on will reset it.
General care instructions include regularly inspecting all vehicle parts, including the charger, cord, and plug, for damage. Any damaged parts should be removed, and Customer Service should be contacted for replacements. The vehicle should not be operated if any parts are damaged. Cleaning should be done carefully with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding water near electrical parts and never washing with a hose. The vehicle should be stored indoors or covered with a tarp, away from stoves, heaters, or other heat sources.
The manual also includes a troubleshooting guide to help resolve common issues, such as the vehicle not running, running for a short time, running slowly, difficulty shifting, motor or gearbox grinding noises, or the battery not recharging. It provides potential causes and solutions for each problem, advising when to contact Customer Service for assistance or replacement parts. For instance, if the battery is low, it needs recharging; if the thermal fuse tripped, it needs to be reset; and if wires or connectors are loose, they need to be tightened or Customer Service should be contacted. If the battery is dead or the electrical system or motor is damaged, Customer Service should be called.
For issues like undercharged or overcharged batteries, the guide recommends ensuring secure connections and adhering to proper charging times. An old battery needs replacement. If the vehicle runs slowly due to too much weight, the weight should be reduced. If the vehicle needs a push to start, it could indicate loose wires, connectors, or a "dead spot" on the motor, requiring inspection or contact with Customer Service. Difficulty shifting requires stopping the vehicle before attempting to shift. Normal occurrences like the battery making bubbling noises while recharging or the charger being warm do not require action.
The manual concludes by emphasizing the importance of saving the sales receipt for warranty purposes and registering the product online or by mail. It also provides contact information for Rollplay Customer Service for assistance and replacement parts.
