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".
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.
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 130 lbs. (59 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.
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.
The electrical switches can become corroded due to exposure to
water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.
