BATTERY CARE

VEHICLE CARE

If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See next section 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.

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

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

Charge the battery after each use, regardless of how long the vehicle was 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.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

Your Power Wheels® battery is a non-spillable 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 a fire. The battery may explode or leak.

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.

Protect the environment by not disposing of this product with household waste (2002/96/EC). Check your local authority for recycling advice and facilities (Europe only).

Return an exhausted battery to a federal or state approved lead-acid battery recycler, such as a Power Wheels® authorized service center or a local seller of automotive batteries. For the authorized service center location nearest to you, please visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com or call 1-800-348-0751. Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of lead-acid batteries. If you live in the State of Florida or the State of Minnesota, it is prohibited by law for anyone to throw away lead-acid batteries in the municipal waste stream.

Check all screws and their 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.

Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions, and do not spray the vehicle with a hose. Water or moisture in the motors 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 motors 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 fi nish, 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 your vehicle stays in good operating order, we recommend you periodically have your vehicle checked by a Power Wheels® authorized service center.
