CAUTION
Use the charger in dry locations only.
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", release the button on
the steering wheel and wait approximately 25 seconds before
operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shut-
downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 40 lbs
(18 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.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving
conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels
Service Center. For the location of the Authorized Service
Center nearest to you in the United States, visit us on-line at

Important Notes
• Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours
before you use it in your vehicle for the first time.
• 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.
• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to
recharge it.
• 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.

• Use only a Power Wheels 6 volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) charger
(input 120VAC 60 Hz 6W) with an output of 6 VDC 2.4/7.2W
(400 mA) to charge your Power Wheels
(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.
• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave
it in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from the vehicle.
