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 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.
After approximately 3 hours of constant use, the battery
needs charging. Recharge the battery.
Even with proper care, rechargeable batteries do not last
forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on
the vehicle use and use conditions. Replace the battery with
a Power Wheels ® 6 volt battery. For best performance,
do not use substitute parts.
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing
more than one rider at one time, exceeding the 65 lbs.
maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the
vehicle. Use only on gentle inclines or slopes 10˚ or less.
Check all wires around the motors and all connectors to
make sure they are tight.
