The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs. Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling of the battery pack can cause cell damage. IMPORTANT! Analysesconrmthatincorrectuseandpoor care of high-performance batteries are the main factors responsible for product damage and/or personal injury. mWARNING! Use only approved replacement batteries; other batteries may damage the product and cause it to malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury. mWARNING! Do not use a battery pack or product that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. Do not modify or attempt to repair the product or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care. Do not modify the electronic components of the product or the remote. Haveyourbatterypackservicedbyaqualiedrepairperson using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the battery pack is maintained. mCAUTION! To reduce the risk of injury, use only official 24V iON+ designated chargers with the 24V iON+ battery pack. The use of other batteries or chargers poses a risk of fire, personal injury and damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug or car cigarette lighter, such misuse will permanently disable or damage the battery pack. mWARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.

• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations. Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting or removing the battery pack, which could lead to a fire.

• Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode. NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is 41°F (5°C) to 105°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the battery outside in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.

• Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger, pull the plug, not the cord from the receptacle to reduce the risk of damage to the power cord. Never carry the charger by its cord. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress when the charger is in use. Do not use a charger with a damaged cordorplug.Replaceadamagedchargerimmediately.

• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary – Using the wrong, damaged or improperly wired extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the charger into a properly wired 16 gauge or larger extension cord with the female plug matching the male plug on the charger. Make sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.

• Unplug charger when not in use – Make sure to remove battery packs from unplugged chargers.

• Do not expose the product or battery pack to fire – Exposure to fire or temperatures above 265°F (130°C) may cause the battery pack to explode, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs are ignited.

• Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – Do not use the battery pack or charger if they have sustained a sharp blow, been dropped from a height of more than 3 feet (1 meter), run over or have been damaged in any way. Even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged, the battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.

• Do not disassemble – Incorrect reassembly may pose a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic battery chemicals. If the battery or charger is damaged, contact an authorized Snow Joe

dealer or call the Snow Joe

• Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth. If damaged, battery chemicals will react violently with air. Use rubber or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it. If skin is exposed to battery chemicals, wash the affected area with soap and water. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 minutes andseekmedicalattention.Removeanddisposeof contaminated clothing.3

• Risk of short circuit – A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit, such as paperclips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a risk of fire and severe personal injury.

• Adults only – The battery should be handled and charged by adults only. Never allow children access to the battery.

• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry place – Ideally, store the battery pack at 59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%. Do not store the battery pack or charger where temperatures may exceed 105ºF (40.5ºC), such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle, or where temperatures may drop below 41°F (5°C). NOTE: Prevent the battery pack from freezing. Battery packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes must be discarded.

• Charge before use – The battery pack supplied with your ride-on SUV is only partially charged. The battery pack has to be fully charged before using the product for the first time.

• Battery Aging – Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your ride- on SUV, and therefore pose a safety risk.

• Do not exhaustively discharge battery packs – A complete discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. For optimum battery performance, charge the battery pack frequently. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.

• Do not overload battery packs – Protect the product and batteries from overloading. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing even if it is not apparent externally. For safety reasons, the integrated protective cutoff will activate to switch off the equipment. After regular use, allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before inserting it into the charger to recharge. IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to turn on the product if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may damage the battery pack.

• Outlet voltage – Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.

• Charger use – Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other types of battery packs or tools.

• Do not overcharge battery packs – Do not exceed the maximum charging times. Frequently overcharging the battery pack will result in cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.

• Battery pack abnormalities – Do not use batteries that have suffered swelling or deformation or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).

• Electrostatic discharge – When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge. Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic protection system and the battery cells. To avoid electrostatic discharges, never touch the battery terminals.

• Battery Installation – Ensure the battery pack is properly seated in the battery compartment. If not properly installed, the battery may some how fly out of the battery compartment, out the hood, over the windshield and hit the child in the unlikely event of a rollover.4 Safety Symbols Thefollowingtabledepictsanddescribessafetysymbolsthatmayappearonthisproduct.Read,understand,andfollowall instructions on the product before attempting to assemble and operate.
