• Using the rechargeable battery and charger for any other product may result in overheating,  re or explosion. Never use the rechargeable battery and charger with another product.
• Explosion. Gases are created during charging. Charge the battery in a well ventilated area. Do not charge the battery near heat or  ammable materials.
• Contact between the positive and negative terminals may result in  re or explosion. Avoid direct contact between the terminals. Picking up the battery by the wires or charger can cause damage to the battery and may result in a  re. Always pick up the battery by its case or handles.
• Battery must be handled by adults only. Liquids on the battery may cause  re or electric shock. Always keep all liquids away from the battery and keep the battery dry.
• Contact or exposure to battery leakage (lead acid) may cause serious injury. If contact or exposure occurs immediately call your physician.

Do not give water or milk if the patient is vomiting or has a decreased level of alertness. Do not induce vomiting.
• Battery Posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds (acid), chemicals known to cause cancer, reproductive harm and are toxic and corrosive. Never open the battery.
• Tampering or modifying the electric circuit system may case a shock,  re or explosion and permanently damage the system. Exposed wiring and circuitry in the charger may cause electric shock. Always keep the charger housing closed.
Important! Before using the unit for the  rst time the battery needs to be charged for 8 to 12 hours - never longer than 20 hours, Only an adult who has read and understands the

Battery Re-charge Interval and Time
IMPORTANT!
Check the drive battery and charger (supply cord, connector) for wear and damage before charging. Do not charge the battery if damage has occurred. Only replace with the same type and voltage rechargeable battery and charger supplied by the manufacturer.
• Only use the rechargeable battery (or equivalent replacement) and charger supplied with your vehicle.
• Before  rst use, charge battery 8 to 12 hours - never longer than 20 hours.
• Once battery is depleted, recharge for 8 to 12 hours - never longer than 20 hours.
• Do not short circuit the battery: Do NOT connect red and black wires together or connect positive and negative terminals on the battery together.
• When battery is fully charged, un-plug charger from the wall outlet and disconnect from charger port.
The drive battery should be charged when depleted, or if not used regularly, once a month. Failure to charge the battery as directed will cause permanent damage to the battery and will void the warranty.
The drive motor circuit features a thermal fuse that will automatically trip and cut all power to the vehicle if the motor, electric system or battery is overloaded. The fuse will reset and power will be restored after a short time. If the thermal fuse trips repeatedly during normal use, the vehicle may need repair.
WARNING:DO NOT BYPASS THE FUSE - RISK OF FIRE. This may overload
