Fisher-Price JEEP AFTERSHOCK 74270 - Manual (Page 9)

CAUTION
Important Notes:
• Your new batteries must be charged for at least
18 hours before you use them in your vehicle for the
first time.
• We recommend that you start charging your batteries
before beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• The batteries must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.
• Do not short circuit the batteries.
• You do not need to remove the batteries from your
vehicle to recharge them.
• Before charging the batteries, examine the battery cases
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 batteries or use
them in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and
can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts. Take
precautions to protect the surface on which you charge
your batteries.
• Use only a Power Wheels ® 12 volt charger (120 VAC
60 Hz 28W with an output of 12 VDC 1200mA) to charge
your Power Wheels
® 6 volt batteries.
Use the charger in dry locations only.
Battery Charging

• The batteries must be handled by adults
only. The batteries are heavy and contain
sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Dropping the
batteries could result in serious injury.
• Never allow children to charge the
batteries. Battery charging must be
done by adults only. A child could be
injured by the electricity involved in
charging the batteries.
• Use of the wrong type batteries, fuses
or charger could cause a fire or explosion,
resulting in serious injury.
• Use of Power Wheels ® components in
products other than Power Wheels ®
vehicles could cause overheating, fire
or explosion.
• Read the cautions on the back panels of
the batteries.
• Never lift or carry the batteries by the
wires or connectors. This can damage the
batteries and possibly cause a fire. Lift
and carry the batteries by the cases only.
• Examine the batteries, charger and their
connectors for excessive wear or damage
each time you charge the batteries. If
damage or excessive wear is detected,
do not use the charger or the vehicle
until you have replaced the worn or
damaged part.
• Do not bypass a Power Wheels ® thermal
fuse. It is a safety device.
• Never alter this vehicle or its electrical
system in any way. Alterations could
cause a fire resulting in injury and could
also ruin the electrical system.
