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 charger connector
is plugged into the battery, 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
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" , remove your foot from the pedal and wait
approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle
again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do
not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 130 lbs (59
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
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor
harness connector is plugged into the battery, 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.
