BATTERY CHARGING

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

CAUTION

WARNING

• Battery can fall out and injure a child if

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.

- 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.

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.

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 (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.

• 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.

Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing operation

Low Speed Drive

of this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed with neighborhood

children or other playmates who want to drive this vehicle.

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.

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:

Restrict your child's driving to areas that are generally level.

- Press the rear tab on the seat and lift to remove.

- Lift the battery retainer to access the battery compartment.

- Pull the motor harness connector from the battery.

- Lift the battery retainer and slowly lower the battery into

the compartment.

- Replace the seat on the vehicle.

VEHICLE CARE

• 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.

• Avoid operating the vehicle on sand. Sand in the motors or

electrical switches can cause them to jam, and could cause

switch or motor failure.

• 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.

• An extremely dirty vehicle can be rinsed with a hose but

avoid spraying directly into switches, motors and battery

compartment. Water or moisture in the motors or electrical

switches can cause them to corrode, 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.

• 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. For the location of

the authorized service center nearest you, please visit us on-line

at www.powerwheels.com or call 1-800-348-0751.
