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 Power Wheels

l ast forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending
on vehicle use and use conditions. Replace only with a
Power Wheels
6 Volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) battery with built-in
®
thermal fuse. Do not substitute parts.
T he 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 handlebar and wait 25 seconds before
operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic
shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the
18 kg (40 lbs) 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 Power Wheels
Consumer Relations.

Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing
more than one rider at one time, exceeding the 18 kg
(40 lbs) maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects
behind the vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, the built-in
thermal fuse in the battery may "trip", and automatically
shut down operation of the for approximately 25 seconds.
Adjust the driving conditions to prevent repeated
automatic shutdowns.
Use only on generally level ground.
