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 (such as a kitchen counter
top) 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.

before first use.
• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery
compart-ment.
Always use the battery retainer to secure the
battery in the battery compartment.
