SOLUTION
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 charger connector
is plugged into the battery, 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 authorized service center. They can test your
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 the battery with a new Power
®
Wheels 12 volt rechargeable battery. Do not substitute parts.
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 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. 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. 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
