Charge the battery. A new battery should have been
charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for
the fi rst time. After fi rst-time use, recharge the battery for
at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery
longer than 30 hours.
Check all 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 fl ow to the wall outlet is "ON" .
There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working
unless you have a volt meter. If you suspect there
is a problem with your charger, contact your local
®
Power Wheels authorized service center. They can
test your charger for you.
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
approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle
again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns,
do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 40 lb (18 kg)
maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind
the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into fi xed 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
authorized service center.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery
connector is tightly plugged into the motor connector and
that there are no loose wires around the motors.
If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery
Care instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are
unsure whether or not the battery is dead, you can have
it tested at your local Power Wheels
service center.
The electrical switches can become corroded due to
exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose
dirt, sand or gravel. Contact your local Power Wheels
authorized service center for diagnosis and repair.
