IMPORTANT HEALTH & SAFETY NOTES
4
•
Although Goblin kits are designed to be built by 9-11 year olds there are still some potential risks
when working with tools and electricity.
Batteries
•
The batteries are absorbed glass mat (AGM) type batteries, so cannot leak or spill making them safer
than other lead acid type batteries.
•
Caution must be taken when the batteries are out of their packing boxes as the terminals are
exposed. We recommend that batteries are stored in their packing boxes when not in use in the car.
Any shorting between battery terminals can be dangerous and damage the battery.
•
Before first charging batteries check your charger voltage. A 12v charger will charge a single
battery at a time. A 24v charger must only be used to charge a pair of batteries linked in series.
Incorrect charging may damage batteries and be dangerous.
•
Batteries should be stored fully charged and never be left discharged as this may result in damage.
Once charging is complete remove from charge and store the batteries safely to prevent any chance
of a short circuit.
Tyres
•
There is a risk of tyres bursting if over inflated. Please note the maximum pressure marked on the
tyres and do not exceed this.
•
Do not store tyres in direct sunlight as overheating can result in increased pressure and the risk of
them bursting.
