BATTERY CARE
BATTERY DISPOSAL
• Your Power Wheels
®
battery is a non-spillable,
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 a fire. The
battery may explode or leak.
• 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.
• Protect the environment by not disposing of this
product with household waste (2002/96/EC). Check
your local authority for recycling advice and facilities.
• Return an exhausted 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. For the
authorized service center location nearest to you,
please visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com
or 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 the State of Minnesota, it is prohibited by
law for anyone to throw away lead-acid batteries in the
municipal waste stream.
VEHICLE CARE
If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the
leaking acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic
bag. See next section 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.
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely
before charging.
• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle, and at
least once per month, even if the vehicle has not
been used.
• Charge the battery after each use, regardless of how
long the vehicle was 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.
• Check all screws 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.
• Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions,
and do not spray the vehicle with a hose. 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 down 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 your vehicle stays in good operating order,
we recommend you periodically have your vehicle
checked by a Power Wheels
®
authorized service center.
