BATTERY CHARGING
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
WARNING
CAUTION
• Battery can fall out and injure a child
if vehicle tips over. Always use battery
retainer.
Use the charger in dry locations only.
About Thermal Fuses
• PREVENT FIRE
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”, release 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 130 lbs (59 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 and make sure your child stops the vehicle before switching
speeds or direction.
- 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 Power Wheels®
vehicles could cause overheating, fire
or explosion.
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 www.powerwheels.com,
or call 1-800-348-0751.
• 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 elec-
tricity involved in charging the battery.
Important Notes
• Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours before
you use it in your vehicle for the first time.
• We recommend that you start charging your battery before
beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• 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
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
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 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.
• Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
• Use only a Power Wheels® 12 volt charger with "12V" connector
(120 VAC, 60 Hz, 28W with an output of 12 VDC, 1200 mA)
to charge your Power Wheels® 12 volt battery.
• Adults Note: Regularly examine the charger 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. Please call
1-800-348-0751.
• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it in
the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from the vehicle.

BATTERY CARE AND DISPOSAL
Care
Disposal
• Your Power Wheels® battery is a non-spillable, sealed lead-acid
battery. They 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.
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with cool water for
at least 15 minutes and call a physician.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire. The battery may
explode or leak.
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 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.
• 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.
• 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
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.
• 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 (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 store
the battery.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F or below -10° F.
• Use only a Power Wheels® 12 volt battery. Remember to charge the
new battery for at least 18 hours before first use.
• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery compart-
ment. Always use the battery retainer to secure the battery in
the battery compartment.
• Examine the battery, charger and their connectors for excessive
wear or damage each time you charge the battery. If damage is
detected, do not use the charger or the battery until you have
replaced the worn or damaged part.

SAFE DRIVING RULES
Teach Safety Rules to Children
RIDING HAZARD
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.
WARNING
• Prevent Injuries and Deaths
• Direct Adult Supervision Required.
• Never Ride at Night.
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.
• 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
Make sure children know and follow these rules for safe driving:
1. Always sit on the seat.
2. Always wear shoes.
3. Only 2 (two) riders 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.
• 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.
4. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near
moving (motorized) vehicles.
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).
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.
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.
- 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.
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.
Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!
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.
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.
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.

VEHICLE OPERATION
IMPORTANT! Use this vehicle ONLY outdoors. Most interior floor-
ing can be damaged by riding this vehicle indoors. Fisher-Price®
will not be responsible for damage to the floor if the vehicle is
used indoors.
Beginner Use - Low Speed Drive
• Your vehicle has a patented, electronic braking system that
automatically stops the vehicle when your child’s foot lifts from
the pedal. Make sure your child is comfortable with steering the
vehicle and automatically knows how to stop.
As assembled, your vehicle is ready to roll in low speed
(21/2 mph, maximum). It has been pre-set so it will only operate in
low speed. After your child has mastered the basic skills of driving
and understands the rules for safe driving, it’s time to remove the
high speed lock-out screw to allow the vehicle to operate in low or
high speed. See the instructions on this page to remove the high
speed lock-out screw.

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 charger is
tightly plugged into the battery, 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 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 motor
harness connector is tightly plugged into the battery 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 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.
