18 18
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Loose wires or loose connectors
Tripped thermal fuse
Undercharged battery
Overcharged battery
Battery is old and will not
accept full charge
Tripped thermal fuse
SOLUTION
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.
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 handlebar 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 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 authorized service center.
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
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 6 Volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) battery with built-in
thermal fuse. Do not substitute parts.
