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 kitchen
counter tops) which could be damaged by the acid
contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect
the surface on which you charge your battery.
• Use only a Power Wheels® 12 volt charger with type
“12V” connector (120 VAC 60 Hz 28W with an output
of 12 VDC 1200mA) to charge your Power Wheels®
rechargeable 12 volt battery.
- 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.
• Never allow children to charge the battery.
Battery charging must be done by adults only.

About Thermal Fuses
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”,
it will automatically reset itself after approximately
25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal
operations. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns,
do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 65 lbs.
(29.5 kg) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything
behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such
as driving up very steep slopes or running into fixed
objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning
while power is still being supplied to the motors. Make
sure your child stops the vehicle before switching speeds
or direction.
1
• Plug the charger connector into the battery
.
2
• Plug the charger into a standard 120 volt wall outlet
Note: If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a
.
switch, make sure the switch is “ON”.
• Before first-time use, charge the battery for at least
18 hours. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
• Recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each
use of your vehicle. Do not charge the battery longer
than 30 hours.
• Once the battery is charged, pull firmly on the charger
connector to disconnect it from the battery. Unplug the
charger from the wall outlet. The battery is now ready to
be installed in your vehicle.

Battery Care and Disposal
Disposal
I
Care
• Your Power Wheels® battery is a sealed lead-acid
battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an
environmentally sound manner.
If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking
acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See
information below for proper disposal.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in your regular,
household trash. The incineration, landfilling or mixing
of sealed lead-acid batteries with household trash is
prohibited by law in most areas.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire.
The battery may explode or leak.
• Return exhausted batteries to a federal or state
approved lead-acid battery recycler, such as a Power
Wheels® authorized service center, or a local seller of
automotive batteries. For the service center location
nearest you, please call 1-800-348-0751. Contact your
local waste management officials for other information
regarding the environmentally sound collection,
recycling and disposal of lead-acid batteries. If you live
in the State of Florida or Minnesota, it is prohibited by
law for anyone to throw away lead-acid batteries in the
municipal waste stream.
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with
cool water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.
If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of
magnesia or egg whites immediately. Never give emetics
or induce vomiting. Call a physician.
• Charge a new battery for at least 18 hours before first
use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Overcharging or undercharging the battery may
shorten battery life and decrease vehicle running time.
• After the first charge, recharge the battery for at least
14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer
than 30 hours. Charge the battery after each use,
regardless of how long the vehicle was used.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely
before charging.
• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle.
• Charge the battery at least once per month, even if
the vehicle has not been used.
• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will
ruin it.
• Always remove an exhausted battery from the vehicle.
Battery leakage and corrosion can damage the vehicle.
• Do not store the battery on a surface which could be
damaged by the acid contained inside the battery.
Take precautions to protect the surface (such as kitchen
counter tops) on which you store the battery.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F
or below -10° F.
• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the
battery compartment. Always use the battery clamp
to secure the battery in the battery compartment.

Caring
For Your Vehicle
J
• Check all screws, cap nuts and their protective coverings
regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic parts on
a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.
• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be
stored inside or under a protective cover. Remember to
charge the battery at least once per month while your
vehicle is not in regular use.
• Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions,
and do not spray the vehicle with a hose. Do not wash
the vehicle with soap and water. Water or moisture in the
motors or electrical switches can cause them to corrode,
and could cause switch or motor failure.
• Avoid operating the vehicle on sand, loose dirt or gravel.
Sand, loose dirt or gravel in the motors or electrical
switches can cause them to jam, and could cause switch
or motor failure.
• The vehicle can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth.
For a shiny finish, you can wipe plastic parts with a
non-wax furniture polish applied to a soft-cloth. Do not
use automotive wax. Do not use soap and water or spray
the vehicle with a hose.
• To ensure that your vehicle stays in good operating order,
we recommend that you periodically have your vehicle
checked by a Power Wheels® authorized service center.

Rules for Safe Driving
K
RIDING HAZARD
WARNING
Prevent Injuries and Deaths
• Direct Adult Supervision Required
• Keep Children Within Safe Riding Areas
These areas must be:
- away from swimming pools and other
bodies of water to prevent drownings
Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!
- generally level to prevent tipovers
- away from steps, driveways, cars,
roads and alleys.
7. Do not allow your child to drive on sloped or inclined
surfaces. Restrict your child’s driving to generally
level ground ONLY!
8. Do not allow your child to drive down or across a
steep slope.
Teach Safety Rules to Children
- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the
pedal is released to stop.
- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.
- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle
to slip.
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to
drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their
judgment skills are still very immature. Unsupervised
driving by children can lead to serious injury. Before
children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully
evaluate the driving area as well as the children’s skill
level and ability to drive this vehicle safely. Children are
not always able to recognize or anticipate hazards, even
when they have been taught about them. THERE IS NO
ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR DIRECT ADULT
SUPERVISION.
9. Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines. The
motor may stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at
an unsafe speed.
10. 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.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before
allowing operation of this vehicle. These rules should also
be reviewed with neighborhood children or other playmates
who want to drive this vehicle.
11. 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. The presence of flammable liquids or vapors
could cause an explosion or a fire. Keep all flammable
products in tightly sealed containers and away from
the vehicle.
Riding Rules
Make sure children know and follow these rules for
safe driving:
1. Always sit on the seat.
2. Always wear shoes.
12. Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without
direct adult supervision. To prevent unsupervised use
of the vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the
battery when the vehicle is not in use.
3. Only 1 (one) rider at a time. A child who is not sitting on
the seat or who is standing on the vehicle could fall off,
cause a tip-over or block the driver’s view. A child could
be seriously injured.
To disconnect the motor harness and battery
connector:
4. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street
or near moving (motorized) vehicles.
- Press the tab under the back edge of the seat and lift
to remove the seat.
- Lift the battery clamp to access the battery
compartment.
5. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water
(such as pools or creeks), obstructions (such as
furniture, low tree limbs or play equipment), or drop-offs
(such as stairs or decks).
- Pull the motor harness connector from the battery.
- Lift the battery clamp and slowly lower the battery into
the compartment.
6. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark.
A child could encounter unexpected obstacles and have
an accident. Operate the vehicle only in the daytime or
a well-lit area.
- Replace the seat on the vehicle.

your charger, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized
service center. They can test your charger for you.
Each Power Wheels® 12 volt battery has a built-in thermal
fuse. A thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down operation of
the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving
conditions too severe. The fuse will automatically reset itself
after approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to
resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic
shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the
65 lb 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.
