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.

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.
• Check all screws and their protective coverings regularly
and tighten as required. Check plastic parts on a regular
basis for cracks or broken pieces.
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with
cool water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.
• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be
stored inside or under a protective cover.
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.
• Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions,
and do not spray the vehicle with a hose. 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.
• 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.
• To ensure your vehicle stays in good operating order,
we recommend you periodically have your vehicle
checked by a Power Wheels® authorized service center.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F
or below -10° F.
BATTERY 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.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire. The
battery may explode or leak.
• 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 www.powerwheels.com
or call 1-800-348-0751. Contact your local waste
management officials for other information regarding

Safe Driving Rules
Before children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully
RIDING HAZARD
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.
WARNING
• Prevent Injuries and Deaths
• A child who is not sitting on the seat could fall off,
cause a tip over or block the driver’s view.
• 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.
• 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
- generally level to prevent tipovers
- away from steps, steep inclines,
cars, roads and alleys.
• Riding Rules
• 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.

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 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.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Vehicle runs
sluggishly (cont.)
Vehicle is overloaded
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing
more than one rider at one time, exceeding the 50 lb.
maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the
vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, the built-in thermal
fuse in the battery may "trip." Once a fuse has "tripped,"
remove your foot from the pedal and wait approximately
25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. Adjust the
driving conditions to prevent repeated automatic shutdowns.
