BATTERY CHARGING

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

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", 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 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 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.

WARNING

• 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 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.

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

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.

- 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 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.

4. Never ride in the cargo bed. Cargo bed weight limit is

25 lbs (11.3 kg).

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.

- Never ride in the cargo bed.

5. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near

moving (motorized) vehicles.

6. 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).

7. 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.

8. Teach your child to avoid driving on steep inclines or slopes.

Restrict your child's driving to areas that are fairly level with

gentle inclines or slopes.

9. 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.

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

- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.

- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.

10. Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines. The motor

may stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at an

unsafe speed.

11.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.

12.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.

13.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.

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 130 lbs. (59 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

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.
