BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION

In exceptional circumstances batteries may leak
fluids that can cause a chemical burn injury or ruin
your toy (product). To avoid battery leakage:

• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be

recharged.

• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from

the toy before being charged (if designed to be
removable).

• Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged

under adult supervision (if designed to be 
removable).

• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), 

or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as

recommended are to be used.

Battery Performance Note:
For best performance use regular or high-perform-
ance alkaline batteries (where disposable batteries
are called for). If your vehicle is supplied with 
standard (carbon-zinc) batteries for initial use and/or
demonstration purposes, we recommend replacing
them with alkaline batteries when necessary. Battery
life may vary depending on battery brand.
