• 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, avoid severe driving conditions.

BATTERY CHARGING  
ELECTRICAL HAZARD  
CAUTION  
WARNING  
Use the charger in dry locations only.  
Battery can fall out and injure a child  
if vehicle tips over. Always use  
battery retainer.  
PREVENT FIRE  
- Never modify the electrical system.  
Alterations could cause a fire  
• Make sure you charge the battery for at least 18 hours  
using the enclosed Power Wheels® 6 volt charger  
before operating your vehicle for the first time. Charge  
the battery for at least 14 hours after each use of the  
vehicle. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.  
Failure to follow these instructions may damage your  
battery and will void your warranty.  
• Use only a Power Wheels® 6 volt charger with “6V”  
connector (input 120 VAC, 60Hz, with an output of  
6 VDC) to charge your Power Wheels® 6 volt battery.  
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 Power Wheels®  
vehicles could cause overheating,  
fire or explosion.  
Battery must be upright  
while charging.  
• 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. A child could be injured  
by the electricity involved in charging  
the battery.  
• Never lift or carry the battery by the  
wires or connector. This can damage  
the battery and possibly cause a fire  
resulting in serious injury. Lift and  
carry the battery by the case only.  
• Plug the charger connector into the battery connector.  
• Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.  
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.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
• You do not need to remove the battery from your  
vehicle to recharge it.  
• 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 place 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 place your battery.  
• Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.

BATTERY CARE  
VEHICLE CARE  
If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the  
leaking acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic  
bag. See next section for proper disposal.  
• Check all screws and their protective coverings  
regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic parts  
on a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.  
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with  
cool water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.  
• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be  
stored inside or under a protective cover.  
If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of  
magnesia or egg whites immediately. Never give emetics  
or induce vomiting. Call a physician.  
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely  
before charging.  
• Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy  
conditions, and do not spray the vehicle with a hose.  
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 fi nish, 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.  
• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle, and at  
least once per month, even if the vehicle has not  
been used.  
• Charge the battery after each use, regardless of how  
long the vehicle was 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.  
• To ensure your vehicle stays in good operating order,  
we recommend you periodically have your vehicle  
checked by a Power Wheels® authorized service center.  
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F  
or below -10° F.  
BATTERY DISPOSAL  
• Your Power Wheels® battery is a non-spillable sealed  
lead-acid battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in  
an environmentally sound manner.  
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire. The  
battery may explode or leak.  
• 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.  
• Protect the environment by not disposing of this  
product with household waste (2002/96/EC). Check  
your local authority for recycling advice and facilities  
(Europe only).  
• Return an exhausted battery 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 authorized service  
center location nearest to you, please visit us on-line  
at www.powerwheels.com or 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 the State  
of Minnesota, it is prohibited by law for anyone to  
throw away lead-acid batteries in the municipal  
waste stream.

SAFE DRIVING RULES  
Before children use this vehicle, an adult should  
RIDING HAZARD  
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.  
WARNING  
Prevent Injuries and Deaths  
• Direct Adult Supervision Required.  
• A child who is not sitting on the seat could fall off,  
cause a tip over or block the driver’s view.  
• 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 button  
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 Ride At Night.  
• Keep Children Within Safe  
Riding Areas.  
These areas must be:  
- 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  
• 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.  
Make sure children know and  
follow these rules for safe driving  
and riding.

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", release the drive button and wait approximately  
25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid  
repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the  
vehicle by exceeding the 40 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.  
Loose wires or loose connectors  
Dead battery  
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery  
connector is tightly plugged into the motor connector and  
that there are no loose wires around the motors.  
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 is 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.

thermal fuse. Do not substitute parts.

Charger gets warm  
during use  
It is normal for some chargers to get

concern. Some chargers do not get  
warm during use.  
No action required.  
If your charger does not get warm during use, it does not  
mean that it is not working properly.

or gurgling noise  
when charging  
It is normal for some batteries to make  
noise and swell slightly while charging
