WHEN YOU INSTALL OR CHANGE BATTERIES:

1. Turn the truck OFF. Be sure the coast selector is off and the brake is applied

2. Make certain you use the correct size and weight battery. Never operate a truck that has an underweight or undersize battery installed

3. Never let anything metal touch the top of the cells

You could cause sparks or do damage to the battery

Use an insulator (such as plywood) when necessary

4. Use an approved spreader bar to place a battery in, or remove it from, the battery compartment or a stand

Make sure you adjust the spreader bar hooks to fit the battery
