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.

SAFE DRIVING RULES

Before children use this vehicle, an adult should 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.

• A child who is not sitting on the seat could fall off,

cause a tip over or block the driver’s view.

RIDING HAZARD

WARNING

• Prevent Injuries and Deaths

• Direct Adult Supervision Required.

• Never Ride at Night.

• Keep Children Within Safe

Riding Areas.

These areas must be:

• 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 pedal 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 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.

- 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 and riding.

- Always sit on the seat.

- Always wear shoes.

- Only 2 (two) riders at a time.

Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!

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.

If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, ﬂush with

cool water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.

• Check all screws and their protective coverings

regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic parts

on a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.

• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be

stored inside or under a protective cover.

• Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions.

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 ﬁnish, 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.

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.

• 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.

• Do not store the battery in temperatures above

75° F or below -10° F.

• To ensure your vehicle stays in good operating order,

we recommend you periodically have your vehicle

checked by a Power Wheels^®authorized service center.

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.

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 (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 connectors

is tightly plugged into the motor harness connector and that there
