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 tightly 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
service center. They can test the 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 only with a
Power Wheels ® 12 Volt Lead-Acid 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. The fuse will automatically reset
itself after approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle
to resume normal operation. 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
authorized service center.

Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing
more than one rider at one time, exceeding the 65 lb.
maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the
vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, the built-in thermal
fuse in the battery may "trip", and automatically shut down
operation for approximately 25 seconds. Adjust the driving
conditions to prevent repeated automatic shutdowns.
Use only on generally level ground.
