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 14 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.

•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.

the battery.

•Use only a Power Wheels® 6 volt battery. Remember to charge the new battery for at least 18 hours before first use.
