SOLUTION
Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged for
at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the fi rst time.
After fi rst-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 connector, and that the charger is plugged into
the wall.
Make sure power fl ow to the wall outlet is "ON" .
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
center. They can test your charger for you.
®
Each Power Wheels 6 volt battery has a built-in thermal fuse.
A 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 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid
repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by
exceeding the 65 lb. maximum weight capacity or by towing
anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into fi xed
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
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor harness
connector is plugged into the battery 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.
The electrical switches can become corroded due to exposure to
water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.
