POSSIBLE CAUSE

® Consumer Relations, or your local Power Wheels
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
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" , 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 65 lbs (29,5 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 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
authorized 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.
