• You must charge your battery for 18-30 hours before

you use your vehicle for the ﬁrst time. We recommend

charging your battery before beginning assembly. Please

see the Battery Charging section for detailed instructions.

• The battery charger is not a toy.

• For your convenience, Power Wheels® maintains an

independently owned and operated Authorized Service

Center Network with more than 300 authorized service

centers nationwide. Our authorized service centers

will repair or replace parts under warranty at no extra

charge, and can perform non-warranty repairs for

damage to the cord, plug, housing or other parts that

may result in the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or injury. In

the event of any damage, do not use the charger until

the damage has been properly repaired.

• Your Power Wheels® 12 volt battery is equipped

with a built-in thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is

a self-resetting safety device which automatically

“trips” and shuts down operation of the vehicle if the

vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too

severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, remove your foot

from the pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds

before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated

automatic shut-downs, avoid severe driving conditions.

Failure to follow these instructions may damage your

battery and will void your warranty.

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

WARNING

• Battery can fall out and injure

a child if vehicle tips over.

Always use battery retainer.

• Use only a Power Wheels^®12 volt charger with “12V”

connector (input 120 VAC, 60Hz, with an output of 12

VDC) to charge your Power Wheels^®12 volt battery.

• PREVENT FIRE

Charger

- Never modify the electrical system.

Alterations could cause a ﬁre

resulting in serious injury and could

also ruin the electrical system.

- Use of the wrong type battery

or charger could cause a ﬁre or

explosion resulting in serious injury.

- Use of Power Wheels® components

in products other than

Battery

Power Wheels® vehicles could

cause overheating, ﬁre or explosion.

• The battery must be handled

by adults only. The battery is

heavy and contains sulfuric acid

(electrolyte). Dropping the battery

• Never allow children to charge the

battery. Battery charging must be

done by adults only. A child could

be injured by the electricity involved

in charging the battery.

Charger

Connector

• Plug the charger connector into the battery socket

Notes:

- If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a switch,

make sure the switch is “ON”.

- Use the charger only in a wall outlet. Do not plug the

charger into a ceiling outlet.

• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case

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 battery or use

it in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and

can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.

• Read the safety instructions on

the battery.

• Examine the battery, charger and

their connectors for excessive wear

or damage each time you charge

the battery. If damage or excessive

wear is detected, do not use the

counter tops) which could be damaged by the acid

contained inside the battery. Take precautions to

protect the surface on which you place your battery.

• Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.

• Once the battery is charged, disconnect the battery

connector from the charger connector. Unplug the

charger from the wall outlet. Refer to the Battery

Installation section for instructions on installing

your battery. If your battery is already installed in

your vehicle, simply re-connect the motor harness

connector to the battery.

SAFE DRIVING RULES

Before children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully

evaluate the driving area as well as the child’s skill level

and ability to drive the vehicle safely. Teach appropriate

safety rules to your child before allowing operation of

this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed with

other playmates who want to drive the vehicle.

• A child who is not sitting on the seat could fall off,

cause a tip over or block the driver’s view.

RIDING HAZARD

WARNING

• Prevent Injuries and Deaths

• Direct Adult Supervision Required.

• Never Ride at Night.

• Keep Children Within Safe

Riding Areas.

These areas must be:

• Only operate the vehicle in the daytime in a well-lit area.

• Driving near steep inclines can cause:

-The vehicle to gain unsafe speed, even if the pedal is

released to stop.

-The vehicle to tilt and tip over

-The wheels to lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.

-The vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.

• Never put anything near any moving parts. Rotating

parts, such as motors, gear boxes and wheels, can

snag ﬁngers, hair, etc., causing serious injury.

• Do not allow operation of the vehicle when it is on its

side or in an upside-down position.

• Do not operate the vehicle near ﬂammable vapors

(gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.).

The vehicle’s electrical switches, like most electrical

switches, emit an internal spark when ﬁrst turned on

or turned off, which could cause an explosion or ﬁre.

• To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect

the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is

not in use.

- Away from swimming pools and

other bodies of water to prevent

drownings.

- Generally level to prevent tipovers.

- Away from steps, steep inclines,

cars, roads and alleys.

• Riding Rules

Make sure children know and follow

these rules for safe driving and riding.

- Always sit on the seat.

- Always wear shoes.

- Only 2 (two) riders at a time.

Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE

IMPORTANT! If you experience a problem with your vehicle, first check the Problems and Solutions Guide below.

If you still experience a problem, please contact Power Wheels Consumer Relations, or your local Power Wheels

authorized service center.

POSSIBLE

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

CAUSE

Vehicle does not run

Undercharged battery

Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged for at

least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the ﬁrst time. After ﬁrst-

time use, recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use.

Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

Check all connectors. Make sure the battery connector is tightly

plugged into the charger connector, and that the charger is

plugged into the wall.

Make sure power ﬂow to the wall outlet is “ON”.

Charger is not working

Tripped thermal fuse

There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless you

have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with your

charger, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized service

center. They can test your charger for you.

The built-in thermal fuse may “trip” and shut down operation of

the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions

too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, remove your foot from the

pedal and wait 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To

avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle

by exceeding the 130 lbs (59 kg) maximum weight capacity or by

towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run

into ﬁxed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning

while power is still being supplied to the motors. If a thermal fuse

continually trips, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized

service center.

Loose wires or

loose connectors

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery connector

is tightly plugged into the motor harness connector and that there

are no loose wires around the motors.

Dead battery

If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery Care

instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are unsure whether

or not the battery are dead, you can have it tested at your local

Power Wheels® authorized service center.

Electrical switch damage

Motor damage

The electrical switches can become corroded due to exposure to

water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.

Contact your local Power Wheels® authorized service center for

diagnosis and repair.

too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, remove your foot from the

pedal and wait 25 seconds before opperating the vehicle again. To

avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle

by exceeding the 130 lbs (59 kg) maximum weight capacity or by

towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run

into ﬁxed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning

while power is still being supplied to the motors. If a thermal fuse

continually trips, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized

service center.
