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", 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 65 lb. (29.5 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 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.  
• 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.  
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.  
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.  
• The battery must be upright while charging.  
• The charger is not a toy.  
• Do not short circuit 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 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.  
• Use only a Power Wheels® 12 volt charger with "12 V"  
connector (input 120 VAC, 60 Hz 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.

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.  
• Riding Rules  
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.  
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. Restrict your child's driving to areas that are generally level with  
gentle inclines or slopes.  
Make sure children know and follow  
these rules for safe driving and riding.  
- Always sit on the seat.  
- Always wear shoes.  
- Only 1 (one) rider at a time.  
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.  
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.  
Restrict your child's driving to areas that are generally level.  
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.  
To disconnect the motor harness:  
- Press the rear tab on the seat and lift to remove.  
- Pull the motor harness connector from the battery.  
- Replace the seat on the vehicle.

location nearest you, please visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com, or call 1-800-348-0751.  
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 connector is 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 approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle  
again. 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. 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 wire or loose connectors  
Dead battery  
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor harness  
connector is 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 is dead, you can have it tested at your local

Vehicle was running but  
suddenly stopped  
Loose wire or loose connectors  
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor harness  
connector is plugged into the battery, and that there are no loose  
wires around the motors.  
Tripped thermal fuse  
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 65 lbs (29.5 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.

SOLUTION  
Vehicle runs in low speed, but  
does not run in high speed.  
High speed lock out screw not removed.  
The vehicle was pre-set to run only in low speed. To allow the  
vehicle to run in low and high speed, you must remove the high  
speed lock out screw from shifter. Follow the instructions on  
page 14.

Operation of vehicle in low speed  
It is possible that only one rear wheel may spin when both rear  
wheels are raised off the ground and the vehicle is in low speed.  
This does not necessarily indicate a problem. Check for proper  
operation of the drive system by raising the rear wheels off the  
ground and pressing the foot pedal. If only one rear wheel spins,  
carefully press your hand on the spinning wheel to slow it down.  
The other rear wheel should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel  
does not begin to spin, there may be a problem with the vehicle.
