RULES FOR SAFE DRIVING
WARNING
•
Improper use of this vehicle could lead to a serious or fatal accident. Allow children
to play with this vehicle only when you have determined that they can do so safely.
Follow all instructions to help your child enjoy this vehicle as safely as possible.
TEACH SAFETY RULES TO CHILDREN
•
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive this vehicle, it is
important to remember that their judgement skills are still very immature.
Unsupervised driving by children can lead to serious injury. Before children use the
Yerf-Dog Pup, an adult should carefully evaluate the driving area as well as the
children’s skill level and ability to drive this vehicle safely. Children are not always
able to recognize or anticipate hazards, even when they have been taught about
them. There is no acceptable substitute for adult supervision.
• Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing operation of this vehicle.
These rules should also be reviewed with neighborhood children or other playmates
who want to drive this vehicle.
1. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near moving (motorized)
vehicles.
2. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water (such as pools or creeks),
obstructions (such as furniture, low tree limbs or play equipment), or drop-offs (such
as stairs or decks).
3. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark. A child could encounter
unexpected obstacles and have an accident. Operate the vehicle only in the day-
time or in well-lit area.
4. Teach your child to avoid driving on steep inclines or slopes. Restrict your child’s
driving to areas that are fairly level with gentle inclines or slopes of no more than 10
degrees.
• While driving down a steep slope, the vehicle may gain unsafe speed,
even if the foot pedal is released to stop.
• While driving across a steep slope, the vehicle may tilt and tip over.
The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.
• While driving up a steep incline, the motor may stop and the vehicle
could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.
