About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels 6 volt battery with A-style connector
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", it will automatically
reset itself after approximately 25 seconds and allow the vehicle
to resume normal operations. To avoid repeated automatic shut-
downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 65 lbs (29.5 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 and make sure your child
stops the vehicle before switching speeds or direction.
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, visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com, or call
1-800-348-0751.
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
Super 6™ volt charger with an A-style
®
connector (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15W with an output of 6 VDC, 7.2W)
to charge your Power Wheels
®
• 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.
