This product is recommended for children ages 3-6 years. No matter what their age, you should never leave a child unattended in the bathroom or bathtub.

Before you can start enjoying your new Ready Freddy, batteries must be inserted. We strongly recommend using new, good quality batteries to ensure optimal operation over time.

4 X AA (LR6) batteries (not included) of good quality and a known brand are needed. WARNNING: don’t use rechargeable batteries.

With caution! Before inserting the batteries, ensure the product is thoroughly dry! To insert batteries, unscrew the battery compartment cover (located on Freddy’s back side) using a Phillips head screwdriver. Insert 4 X 1.5V AA (LR6) batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment cover and firmly screw it back into position (see instructions PDF here). Attention! Before putting Freddy in the water, make sure the battery compartment is tightly sealed.

Use the suction cups to stick Freddy to the side of the tub and fill the tub with water. Please note, Freddy should be submerged in at least 2 inches (5 cm) of water before activating the lever handle. This means the water should reach the bottom of Freddy’s belt at least.

After attaching Freddy to the side of the tub and filling it with enough water, pull the lever handle to start the water flow. Make sure the water reaches the bottom of Freddy’s belt.

The product may stop working when the propeller or filter are blocked by dirt, hair, or soap. In order to fix this, unscrew the filter and pull it out. Wash with soap and water, ensuring that the filter mesh is completely clean. Make sure the propeller rotates freely. If it does not, try to release the clog with a screwdriver, until it rotates freely again. Reinsert filter and screw into place.
If the water is still not running, change the batteries and make sure to tightly close the battery compartment lid (see instructions above).

Try to blow into the output hole on the helmet, to make sure nothing is blocking the connection. Then pull the lever, turning the pump on, and wait for it to fill with water. Use your finger to plug the water output hole for a minute. Other reasons for the slow water flow could be related to the filter or the batteries. In this case, clean the filter mesh and make sure that the pump propeller spins freely or change the batteries.

Please contact us.

The battery compartment may not have been closed properly. It is very important to make sure the lid is sealed, and the screws are tightened using a Phillips screwdriver. Before re-operating, wipe the battery compartment dry and remove all rust marks using a paper towel. Only when completely dry, insert the batteries, close the lid well, and try to operate the product. If Freddy still doesn’t work, please contact our customer service.

Unscrew the filter (located at the bottom of the product) and pull it out. Wash with soap and water, ensuring that the filter mesh is completely clean. Reposition the filter and screw firmly.

The filter should be cleaned every time batteries are replaced.

It is recommended to properly rinse, drain, and dry out the product after every use. Use the cup dispenser to ensure dry and mold-free storage of the tumblers. Unless you do that, Yookidoo® bath toys will need a good cleaning every two weeks or so in order to remain mold-free. When a thorough cleaning is required, fill up a bucket with water and add in some vinegar. Let the spout soak in the vinegar water for around 30 minutes, then turn it on to circulate the water through the pump. Rinse the spout off and dry using a paper or cloth towel.

The Yookidoo date code number helps us track the production date of the product. Ready Freddy’s date code is on the battery cover (located at the back of the product). It is a 5-digit number that ends with letters.
