ELECTRICAL HAZARD
WARNING
CAUTION
• 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.
®
Your Power Wheels 6 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 50 lbs (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.
- 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.
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

electricity involved in charging the battery.
• 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.
• Never lift or carry the battery by the wires
or connector. This can damage the battery
and possibly cause a fire resulting in serious
injury. Lift and carry the battery by the
case only.
• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to
recharge it.
• 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.
• 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.

Wheels 6 volt (4.0 amp/hr.) 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.

BATTERY CARE AND DISPOSAL
Disposal
Care
• Your Power Wheels® battery is a non-spillable sealed lead-acid
battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally
sound manner.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire. The battery may
explode or leak.
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.
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with cool water for
at least 15 minutes and call a physician.
If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia or egg
whites immediately. Never give emetics or induce vomiting.
Call a physician.
• Charge a new battery for at least 18 hours before first use. Never
charge the battery longer than 30 hours. Overcharging or under-
charging the battery may shorten battery life and decrease vehicle
running time.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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
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 leak-
age and corrosion can damage the vehicle.
• Do not store the battery on a surface (such as kitchen countertops)
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.
• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery compart-
ment. Always use the battery retainer (engine cover) 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
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:
Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!
- away from swimming pools and other
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.
bodies of water to prevent drownings
- generally level to prevent tipovers
7. Do not allow your child to drive on sloped or inclined surfaces.
- away from steps, steep inclines, cars,
roads and alleys.
• Riding Rules
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.
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.
- 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 prod-
ucts in tightly sealed containers and away from the vehicle.
Teach Safety Rules to Children
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.
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.
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.
To disconnect the motor harness connector and battery connector:
- Lift the hood.
- Remove the battery retainer (engine cover).
- Squeeze the tabs on the motor harness connector to unplug it
Riding Rules
from the battery connector.
Make sure children know and follow these rules for safe driving:
- Replace the battery retainer (engine cover).
- Lower the hood and fasten the hood latches.
1. Always sit on the seat.
2. Always wear shoes.
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).

at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery
longer than 30 hours.
Check all connectors. Make sure the battery connector is
tightly plugged into the charger 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.
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 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 battery
connector is tightly plugged into the motor harness 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
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.
Motor damage
Contact your local Power Wheels® authorized service center
for diagnosis and repair.
