Power Wheels Ford F-150 K8285 Owner's Manual & Assembly Instructions page 24

PROBLEM
Vehicle was running but
suddenly stopped
Short run time (Less than
1 - 3 hours per charge)
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Loose wire or loose connectors
Tripped thermal fuse
Undercharged battery
Overcharged battery
Battery is old and will not accept
full charge
Tripped thermal fuse
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.
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 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 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
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 battery. Do not substitute parts.
