• PREVENT FIRE

- Do not bypass a Power Wheels

fuse.

It is a safety device.

Use only a Power Wheels®25 Amp fuse.

- Never modify the electrical system. Alterations could cause a fire resulting in serious injury and could also ruin the electrical system.

- Use of the wrong type battery, fuse or charger could cause a fire or explosion resulting in serious injury.

- Use of Power Wheels

components in

products other than Power Wheels

vehicles could cause overheating, fire or explosion.

• The battery must be handled by adults only. The battery is heavy and contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Dropping the battery could result in serious injury.

• Never allow children to charge the battery. Battery charging must be done by adults only. A child could be injured by the electricity involved in charging the battery.

• Never lift or carry the battery by the wires or connector. This can damage the battery and possibly cause a fire resulting in serious injury. Lift and carry the battery by the case only.

• Read the safety instructions on the battery.

Important Notes

• Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours before you use it in your vehicle for the first time.

• The battery must be removed from your vehicle for the initial charge in order to complete assembly. You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to recharge it.

• We recommend that you start charging your battery before beginning assembly of your new vehicle.

• The battery must be upright while charging.

• The charger is not a toy.

• Do not short circuit the battery.

• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case for cracks and other damage which may cause sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to leak during the charging process. If damage is detected, do not charge the battery or use it in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.

• Do not charge the battery on a surface (such as kitchen counter tops) which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you charge your battery.

• Use only a Power Wheels®Type H 6 volt charger (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 12W with an output of 6.0 VDC, 800mA) to charge your Power Wheels®6 volt battery.

• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from the vehicle.
