Re-Charge Interval and Time
Important!
• Damage to the battery may occur if it is allowed to drain completely. Do not allow the battery to drain
completely.
• Check the battery and charger (supply cord, connector) for wear and damage before charging. Do not charge
the battery if damage has occurred. Only replace with a Kid Trax Toys 16V rechargeable battery
and charger.
The battery should be charged after each use, or if not used regularly, once a month at a minimum. Charge the
battery between 8 and 10 hours. Do not charge the battery for more than 24 hours. Failure to charge the battery
as directed would cause permanent damage to the battery and void the warranty.
Battery Storage
Do not leave the battery connected in the vehicle for long period of times while not being used. This may drain the
battery completely and cause permanent damage. Disconnect the battery connectors from the battery when the
vehicle is not going to be used for a long period of time.
It is best to leave the battery in the battery compartment when the vehicle is being stored for long periods. Follow
these guidelines if the battery is removed:
• Store the battery where temperatures are between -10° F (-24° C and 75° F (24° C)
• Store the battery on a wood surface. Do not place the battery on cement oors for extended periods. This will
result in battery discharge.
• Wipe the battery clean with a dry cloth prior to storage.
• Charge the battery once every month for eight to sixteen hours.
Battery Replacement and Disposal
The KidTrax Toys 16 volt battery will
eventually lose the ability to hold a charge.
Depending on the amount of use, and varying
conditions, the battery should operate for one
to three years. Follow these steps to replace
and dispose the battery:
1. Remove the screws on the back of the seats
and lift the seats out.
2. Disconnect the battery connectors.
3. Remove the two screws on the sides of
the battery.
4. Carefully lift the battery out of the battery
compartment.
• Depending on the condition of the
battery (i.e.: leakage) you may want to
wear protective gloves before removal.
• Do not lift the battery by its connectors
or cables.

Maintenance
The Viper should be checked for damage, missing or badly worn parts before use.
• Check the tightness of the fasteners before each use.
• Check the tightness of the wheels.
• Ensure the battery is securely in place before use
• Occasionally use lightweight oil to lubricate moving parts such as wheels and steering linkage. Do not use oil
on plastic or nylon parts. No lubrication is required.
• Store the vehicle indoors or cover it with a tarp to protect it from
the wet weather. Keep it away from sources of heat, such as stoves and heaters.
• Clean the vehicle with a soft, dry cloth. To restore shine to plastic parts, use a non-wax furniture polish. Do not
use car wax, abrasive cleaners or wash the vehicle with soap and water. Water will damage the motor, electrical
system and battery.
• KidTrax Toys recommends that you take the vehicle to an authorized service center for periodic maintenance
and service. Call Kid Trax Toys Consumer Relations at 877-741-6154 for an authorized service center.
5. Place the dead battery in a plastic bag.
Important! Recycle the dead battery responsibly. The battery contains lead acid (electrolyte) and must be
disposed of properly and legally It is illegal in most areas to incinerate lead acid batteries or dispose of them
in landlls. Take it to a federal or state-approved lead acid battery recycler, such as a Kid Trax Toys authorized
service center or your local automotive battery retailer. Do not throw the battery away with your regular
household trash!
6. Replace the battery with a KidTrax Toys 16 volt battery and reconnect the connectors.
