IMPORTANT NOTE
• We recommend that you start charging your battery before beginning assembly of
your new vehicle.

• The charger is not a toy. Keep away from children.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to recharge it.
• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case 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 battery or use it 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 (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 charge your battery.

other parts that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or injury. If the charger
is damaged, do not use it until it is repaired by a qualified professional or replace it
with an approved replacement charger.

Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours. Charge the battery after each use,
regardless of how long the vehicle was used.
