Problem Possible Cause - Power Wheels F-150 Owner's Manual With Assembly Instructions

PROBLEM
Vehicle was running but
suddenly stopped
Short run time (Less than
1 - 3 hours per charge)
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
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
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
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 battery. Do not substitute parts.
