SOLUTION
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 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 battery longer than 30 hours. If you suspect that
your battery is damaged as a result of overcharging, contact your
local Power Wheels
authorized service center. They can test the
®
battery for you.
Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last forever.
Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on vehicle use and
use conditions. Replace only with a Power Wheels
battery with built-in thermal fuse. Do not substitute parts.
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", release the button on the
steering wheel and wait 25 seconds before operating the vehicle
again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the
vehicle by exceeding the 40 lbs (18 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
service center.

Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing more than
one rider at one time, by exceeding the 40 lbs (18 kg) maximum
weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the vehicle.
Use only on generally level ground.
