STORING YOUR SQUEELER:
If you will be storing your Squeeler for a longer period of time, remove the 9-Volt Battery from the controller and
the 9.6V NIMH Rechargeable Battery Pack from the Squeeler. This will prolong the operational life of the Batter-
ies. It is a good idea to store the Squeeler, Controller, Charger, Battery Pack, Tire Inflation Needle, this Instruction
Manual and Tire Inflation Gauge Template together so no components become misplaced or lost. Please respect
the below points to extend the operational life of your Squeeler during storage.
1. Product may be damaged or performance may be adversely affected if your Squeeler is not properly stored.
2. Never place any items on top of any components of the Squeeler.
3. Always keep your Squeeler in a cool dry place.
4. Keep Squeeler away from pets and other household animals.
5. Do not rest your Squeeler on any potential heat source such as electronic equipment or a radiator.
6. Store the 9.6V NIMH Rechargeable Battery Pack in a safe location out of the reach of children and at room
temperature. Do not store any batteries inside the Squeeler or Controller for longer periods of time.
7. It is a good idea to deflate the Squeeler’s tires during storage. This is easily accomplished by gently inserting
the Tire Inflation Needle into each tire (without an air pump) and allowing the pressurized air to drain out of each
tire.

4. Allow your Squeeler to completely dry out before

getting wet. If this is the case, such damage is not
