About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels 12 volt battery 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 sec-
onds and allow the vehicle to resume normal operations.
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. Avoid
severe driving conditions, such as driving up very steep
slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the
wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied
to the motors. Make sure your child stops the vehicle
before switching speeds or direction.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under nor-
mal driving conditions, please contact your local
Power Wheels ® Authorized Service Center. For the loca-
tion of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you, see
