About Thermal Fuses
This Power Wheels
thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a safety device which automatically
"trips" and shuts down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is over-
loaded or the driving conditions too severe. Once a fuse has "tripped",
it will automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds and allow
the vehicle to resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic
shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the maximum
weight capacity as listed in your Owner's Manual or by towing anything
behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up
very steep hills or running into fixed objects, which can cause the
wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors.
If a new thermal fuse continually trips, please contact your local
Power Wheels ®
Authorized Service Center nearest to you, please call 1-800-348-0751.
To Charge
• Before charging a battery, examine the battery case for cracks and
other damage which may cause sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to leak
during the charging process. If damage is detected, do not charge the
battery or use it in your vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and can
cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.
• Do not charge the battery on a surface which could be damaged by
the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the
surface on which you charge the battery.
• Use only the Power Wheels
