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 on a surface which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you store the battery.

•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 clamp 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.

Battery Care and Disposal

Disposal

•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.

•Return exhausted batteries 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 service center location nearest you, please 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 Minnesota, it is prohibited by law for anyone to throw away lead-acid batteries in the municipal waste stream.

J	Caring
	For Your Vehicle

•Check all screws, cap nuts 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. 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 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 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 1-800-348-0751for the location of the authorized service center nearest you.
