First-Time 6 Volt Battery Charging
We recommend that you start charging your 6 volt batteries before beginning assembly of
your vehicle. Your new 6 volt batteries must be charged for at least 18 hours before you use
your vehicle for the first time.
• Batteries must be handled by adults only.
• Never allow children to charge the 6 volt batteries. Battery charging must be done by adults
only. A child could be injured by the electricity involved in charging batteries.
• Use of the wrong type 6 volt battery, fuse or charger could cause a fire or explosion, resulting
in serious injury.
• Never permit a child to handle batteries. The 6 volt batteries are heavy and contain sulfuric
acid (electrolyte), and if dropped could result in a serious injury. Read the cautions on the
back panels of the batteries.
• Never lift or carry the 6 volt batteries by the wires or connectors. This can damage the 6 volt
batteries and possibly cause a fire. Lift and carry the 6 volt batteries by the cases only.
• Examine the 6 volt batteries, charger and their connectors for excessive wear or damage
each time you charge the 6 volt 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate the vehicle for the first time until you have inserted 30 amp fuses into the 6 volt
batteries and charged them for at least 18 hours. Never charge the 6 volt batteries longer than
30 hours.
• Carefully read the Battery Care instructions to obtain the best battery life. Failure to follow
the Battery Care instructions may permanently damage your 6 volt batteries and may void
your warranty.
• Use the charger indoors only.
