Care

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.

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 pretend engine cover 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.

Disposal

Your Power Wheels® battery is a sealed lead-acid battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an environ- mentally 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.

Return the 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. In Minnesota, call 1-800-348-0751 if further disposal information is required. Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of lead-acid batteries.
