About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels^®6 Volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) 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 50 lb.

(23 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.

• 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.

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

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.

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, cars, steep inclines,

roads and alleys.

Riding Rules

Make sure children know and follow these rules for safe driving:

1. Always sit on the seat.

• Riding Rules

2. Always wear shoes.

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.

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. 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.

Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!

- 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 connector from the battery connector

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 connector, 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.

Each Power Wheels^®6 Volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) battery has a built-in

thermal fuse. A 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", release the pedal and wait

25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated

automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding

the 50 lb. (23 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 connector, 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.
