PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the truck. Do not
operate while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating the truck may result in
serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before inserting the battery pack.
Carrying the controller with your finger on the switch
or inserting the battery pack with the switch on invites
accidents.
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
Do not use the product if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any product that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the battery pack from the product
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the truck. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the truck accidentally.
Store out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the product or these
instructions to operate the truck. Battery products

these instructions and in the manner intended.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use the truck only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.

from the battery, avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.

recharged.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Battery products do not have to be plugged into
an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards
when not using your battery product or when
changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.
Do not place battery products or their batteries
near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion
and possibly injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do
not use a battery pack or charger that has been
dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged
battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a
dropped or damaged battery immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery
can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with
water immediately.
Do not charge battery product in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
For best results, your battery product should be
charged in a location where the temperature is
more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store
outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek
immediate medical attention. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
