Solution
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.
Make sure that each 6 volt battery has a properly installed
Power Wheels ® 30 amp fuse installed before charging.
For best performance, do not use substitute parts.
Make sure that the fuses in the 6 volt batteries are in good
condition. Replace blown fuses with Power Wheels
30 amp fuses. For best performance, do not use
substitute parts.
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing
more than 2 riders at one time, by exceeding the 130 lbs.
maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the
vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, it will automatically
shut down. The vehicle will reset itself after approximately
20 seconds. Reduce the load on the vehicle to prevent
additional automatic shut-downs.
Use only on gentle inclines or slopes of 10˚ or less. Extreme
temperatures can also affect run time. If the driving
conditions are too stressful, the vehicle will automatically
shut down. The vehicle will reset itself after approximately
20 seconds. Adjust the driving conditions to prevent
additional automatic shut-downs.
Charge the 6 volt batteries. New 6 volt batteries should have
been charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle
for the first time. After first-time use, recharge 6 volt
batteries for at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge
the 6 volt batteries 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 6 volt batteries longer than 30 hours. If
you suspect that your 6 volt batteries are damaged as a
result of overcharging, contact your local Power Wheels
Authorized Service Center. They can test your 6 volt
batteries for you.
Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not
last forever. Average 6 volt battery life is 1 to 3 years
depending on vehicle use and use conditions. Always
replace 6 volt batteries as a set; use of an older 6 volt
battery with a new 6 volt battery may cause permanent
damage to both 6 volt batteries. Replace BOTH 6 volt
batteries with Power Wheels ® Type H 6 volt batteries.
For best performance, do not use substitute parts.
Make sure that each 6 volt battery has a properly installed
Power Wheels ® 30 amp fuse installed before charging.
