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 magne-
sia 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.
