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.

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 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 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 "12V" connector

(input 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

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.

• Your Power Wheels^®battery is a non-spillable, sealed lead-acid

battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally

sound manner.

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

• 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.

www.powerwheels.com or call 1-800-348-0751. Contact your

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.

• 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.

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

(motorized) vehicles.

- Always wear shoes.

- Only 2 (two) riders at a time.

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.

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.

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 approximately 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.
