Battery Charging
E
Important Notes:
• Y
our new batteries must be charged for at least 18
hours before you use them in your vehicle for the
first time.
• We recommend that you start charging your batteries
before beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• The batteries must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.
• Do not short circuit the batteries.
• You do not need to remove the batteries from your
vehicle to recharge them.
• Before charging the batteries, examine the battery cases
for cracks and other damage which may cause sulfuric
acid (electrolyte) to leak during the charging process. If
damage is detected, do not charge the batteries or use
them in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and
can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.
• Do not charge 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 charge
your batteries.
• Use only a Power Wheels
®
Type H 12 volt charger (120
VAC 60 Hz 28W with an output of 12 VDC 1200mA) to
charge your Power Wheels
®
6 volt batteries.

WARNING
• The batteries must be handled by adults
only. The batteries are heavy and contain
sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Dropping the
batteries could result in serious injury.
• Never allow children to charge the
batteries. Battery charging must be done
by adults only. A child could be injured
by the electricity involved in charging
the batteries.
• Use of the wrong type batteries, fuses or
charger could cause a fire or explosion,
resulting in serious injury.
• Use of Power Wheels
®
components in
products other than Power Wheels
®
vehicles could cause overheating, fire
or explosion.
• Read the cautions on the back panel of
the batteries.
• Never lift or carry the batteries by the
wires or connectors. This can damage the
batteries and possibly cause a fire. Lift
and carry the batteries by the case only.
• Examine the batteries, charger and their
connector for excessive wear or damage
each time you charge the battery. If
damage or excessive wear is detected,
do not use the charger or the vehicle
until you have replaced the worn or
damaged part.
• Do not bypass a Power Wheels
®
fuse. It is
a safety device.
• Never alter this vehicle or its electrical
system in any way. Alterations could
cause a fire resulting in injury and could
also ruin the electrical system.
