the event of any damage, do not use the charger until  
the damage has been properly repaired.  
• 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, avoid severe driving conditions.

gravel. Sand, loose dirt or gravel in the motors or  
electrical switches can cause them to jam, and could  
cause switch or motor failure.  
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.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE  
IMPORTANT! If you experience a problem with your vehicle, first check the Problems and Solutions Guide below.  
If you still experience a problem, please contact Power Wheels® Consumer Relations, or your local Power Wheels®  
authorized service center.  
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 65 lbs (29,5 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

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
SOLUTION  
Vehicle was running but  
suddenly stopped  
Loose wire or loose connectors  
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.  
Tripped thermal fuse  
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 65 lbs (29,5 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.  
Short run time (Less than  
1 - 3 hours per charge)  
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 wires and 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.  
Overcharged battery  
Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours.  
If you suspect that your battery is damaged  
as a result of overcharging, contact your local  
Power Wheels® authorized service center.  
They can test your battery for you.  
Battery is old and will not accept  
full charge  
Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery  
does not last forever. Average battery life is  
1 to 3 years depending on vehicle use and  
use conditions. Replace the battery with a new  
Power Wheels® 12 volt rechargeable battery.  
Do not substitute parts.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
SOLUTION  
When the foot pedal is pressed  
one rear wheel spins  
Operation of vehicle in low speed  
It is possible that only one rear wheel may  
spin when both rear wheels are raised off  
the ground and the vehicle is in low speed.  
This does not necessarily indicate a problem.  
Check for proper operation of the drive system  
by raising the rear wheels off the ground  
and pressing the foot pedal. If only one rear  
wheel spins, carefully press your hand on the  
spinning wheel to slow it down. The other rear  
wheel should begin to spin. If the other rear  
wheel does not begin to spin, there may be  
a problem with the vehicle. Contact your local  
Power Wheels® authorized service center for  
diagnosis and repair.  
Sometimes the vehicle doesn’t  
run, but other times it does

Check all wires around the motors and all  
connectors to make sure they are tight.
