If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See information below for proper disposal.

If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.

If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia or egg whites immediately. Never give emetics or induce vomiting.Call a physician.

• Charge a new battery for at least 18 hours before first use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours. Overcharging or undercharging the battery may shorten battery life and decrease vehicle running time.

• After the first charge, recharge the battery for at least 18 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours. Charge the battery after each use, regardless of how long the vehicle was used.

• The battery must be upright while charging.

• Be sure to insert the battery correctly and always follow the instructions for use and care.

• Do not allow the battery to run down completely before charging.

• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle.

• Charge the battery at least once per month, even if the vehicle has not been used.

• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will ruin it.

• Always remove an exhausted battery from the vehicle. Battery leakage and corrosion can damage the vehicle.

• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F or below -10° F.

• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery compartment. Always use the battery retainer to secure the battery in the battery compartment.

• Examine the battery, charger and their connectors for excessive wear or damage each time you charge the battery. If damage is detected, do not use the charger or the battery until you have replaced the worn or damaged part.

• Attempting to charge the battery without a 25 amp fuse or with a blown fuse will not damage the battery, but it will not charge. Check the fuse to make sure it is in good condition each time you charge the battery.

• Your Power Wheels®battery is a sealed lead-acid battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.

• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in your regular, household trash.The incineration, landfilling or mixing of sealed lead-acid batteries with household trash is prohibited by law in most areas.

Battery Care and Disposal

Caring For Your Vehicle

• Check all screws, retainers and protective coverings regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic parts on a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.

• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be stored inside or under a protective cover. Remember to charge the battery at least once per month while your vehicle is not in regular use.

• Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions, and do not spray the vehicle with a hose. Do not wash the vehicle with soap and water. Water or moisture in the motor or electrical switches can cause them to corrode, and could cause switch or motor failure.

• Avoid operating the vehicle on sand, loose dirt or gravel. Sand, loose dirt or gravel in the motor or electrical switches can cause them to jam, and could cause switch or motor failure.

• The vehicle can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth. For a shiny finish, you can wipe plastic parts with a non-wax furniture polish applied to a soft-cloth. Do not use automotive wax.Do not use soap and water or spray the vehicle with a hose.

• To ensure that your vehicle stays in good operating order, we recommend that you periodically have your vehicle checked by a Power Wheels

authorized service center.See page 24 for the list of authorized service centers or call 1-800-348-0751 for the location of the authorized service center nearest you.

5. Do not operate this vehicle with more than one rider,

seated on the seating area. A child who is not sitting on the seat or who is standing on the vehicle could fall off, cause a tip-over or block the driver’s view. A child could be seriously injured.

6. Always wear shoes or sneakers when operating this vehicle.

7. Never put anything near any moving par ts. Rotating parts such as motors, gear boxes and wheels can snag fingers, hair, etc., causing serious injury. Do not allow operation of the vehicle when it is on its side or in an upside-down position.

8. Do not operate the vehicle near flammable vapors (gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.). The vehicle’s electrical switches, like most electrical switches, emit an internal spark when first turned on or turned off.The presence of flammable liquids or vapors could cause an explosion or a fire. Keep all flammable products in tightly sealed containers and away from the vehicle.

9. Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without proper adult supervision. To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.

To disconnect the motor harness connector and battery connector:

• Unlock the seat and remove it to access the battery.

• Unplug the motor harness connector from the

battery connector.

• Re-assemble the seat to your vehicle. Important Note: Always remember to lock the lock

fastener to prevent children from accessing the battery.

Teach Safety Rules to Children

While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgment skills are still very immature. Unsuper vised driving by children can lead to serious injury.Before children use this vehicle, 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 appropr iate safety rules to your child before allowing operation of this vehicle.These r ules 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 daytime or in a 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°.

• While dr iving down a steep slope, the vehicle may

gain unsafe speed, even if the foot pedal is released to stop.

• While dr iving 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.

WARNING

• Never use near steps, driveways, steep inclines, roadways, alleys, swimming pool areas or other bodies of water.

• Always wear shoes or sneakers when operating this vehicle.

• Never allow more than one rider.

• The rider should sit on the seat when the vehicle is in operation.
