vehicle tips over. Always use battery retainer.
Use the charger in dry locations only.
• PREVENT FIRE
About Thermal Fuses
- Never modify the electrical system.
Alterations could cause a fire resulting
in serious injury and could also ruin the
electrical system.
®
Your Power Wheels 6 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, do not
overload the vehicle by exceeding the 5. lbs (23 kg ) maximum
weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle Avoid
severe driving conditions, such as driving up slopes or running
into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning
while power is still being supplied to the motors
- 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 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 could
result in serious injury.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal
driving conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels®
Authorized Service Center For the location of the Authorized
Service Center nearest to you, visit us on-line at

• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to
recharge it
• 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 charger or the battery until you have
replaced the worn or damaged part.
• 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
•
Do not charge the battery on a surface (such as a kitchen counter
top) which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the
battery Take precautions to protect the surface on which you
charge your battery

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
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 approximately 25 seconds before operating
the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do
not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 50 lb (23 kg)

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
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 approximately 25 seconds before operating
the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do
not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 50 lb (23 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.

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 wires and connectors. Make sure the battery
connector is tightly plugged into the charger connector, and
that the charger is plugged into the wall.
