1 1
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Loose wires or loose connectors
Tripped thermal fuse
Undercharged battery
Overcharged battery
Battery is old and will not
accept full charge
Tripped thermal fuse
SOLUTION
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery
c onnector is tightly plugged into the motor connector,
and that there are no loose wires around the motors.
T he 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", release
the button on the handlebar and wait 25 seconds before
operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic
shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the
18 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 Power Wheels
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 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".
Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours. If you
suspect that your battery is damaged as a result of
overcharging, contact Power Wheels
Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not
l ast forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending
on vehicle use and use conditions. Replace only with a
Power Wheels ® 6 Volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) battery with built-in
thermal fuse. Do not substitute parts.
