SOLUTION
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 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 fl ow 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 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. 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.
