ELECTRICAL HAZARD
WARNING
CAUTION
• Battery can fall out and injure a child if
vehicle tips over. Always use battery
clamp.
Use the charger in dry locations only.
About Thermal Fuses
• PREVENT FIRE
Your Power Wheels® 6 volt battery is equipped with a
built-in thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a self-resetting
safety device which automatically “trips” and shuts down
operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded 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
operations. To avoid repeated automatic shut-downs,
do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 50 lbs
(22.5 kg.) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything
behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such
as driving up slopes or running into fixed objects, which
can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still
being supplied to the motors. Make sure your child stops
the vehicle before switching speeds or direction.
- Never modify the electrical system.
Alterations could cause a fire resulting
in serious injury and could also ruin the
electrical system.
- Use of the wrong type battery or
charger could cause a fire or explosion
resulting in serious injury.
- Use of Power Wheels® components in
products other than Power Wheels®
vehicles could cause overheating,
fire or explosion.
• The battery must be handled by adults
only. The battery is heavy and contains
sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Dropping the
battery could result in serious injury.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under
normal driving conditions, please contact your local
independently owned and operated Power Wheels®
Authorized Service Center. For the location of the

IMPORTANT!
• Your new battery must be charged for at least
18 hours before you use it in your vehicle for
the first time.
• We recommend that you start charging your battery
before beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.

• Never lift or carry the battery by the wires
or connector. This can damage the battery
and possibly cause a fire resulting in
serious injury. Lift and carry the battery by
the case only.
• Read the safety instructions on
the battery.
• Examine the battery, charger and their
connectors for excessive wear or damage
each time you charge the battery. If dam-
age or excessive wear is detected, do not
use the charger or the battery until you
have replaced the worn or damaged part.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not
leave it in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery
from the vehicle.
• Once installed, you do not need to remove the battery
from your vehicle to recharge it.
• Before charging the 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 (such as kitchen
counter tops) which could be damaged by the acid
contained inside the battery. Take precautions to
protect the surface on which you charge your battery.
• Use only a Power Wheels® Type H 6 volt charger
(120 VAC, 60 Hz, 12W with an output of 6 VDC 4.8W
800mA) to charge your Power Wheels® Type H
6 volt battery.

Battery Care and Disposal
Disposal
I
Care
• Your Power Wheels® battery is a sealed lead-acid
battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an environ-
mentally sound manner.
If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking
acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See
information below for proper disposal.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire. The battery
may explode or leak.
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with
cool water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in your regular,
household trash. The incineration, landfilling or mixing
of sealed lead-acid batteries with household trash is
prohibited by law in most areas.
• Return exhausted batteries to a federal or state approved
lead-acid battery recycler, such as a Power Wheels®
authorized service center, or a local seller of automotive
batteries. For the service center location nearest you,
please call 1-800-348-0751. Contact your local waste
management officials for other information regarding the
environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal
of lead-acid batteries. If you live in the State of Florida or
Minnesota, it is prohibited by law for anyone to throw
away lead-acid batteries in the municipal waste stream.
If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of
magnesia or egg whites immediately. Never give emetics
or induce vomiting. Call a physician.
• Charge a new battery for at least 18 hours before first
use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Overcharging or undercharging the battery may
shorten battery life and decrease vehicle running time.
• After the first charge, recharge the battery for at least
14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer
than 30 hours. Charge the battery after each use,
regardless of how long the vehicle was used.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely
before charging.
• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle.
• Charge the battery at least once per month, even if
the vehicle has not been used.
• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will
ruin it.
• Always remove an exhausted battery from the vehicle.
Battery leakage and corrosion can damage the vehicle.
• Do not store the battery on a surface (such as kitchen
countertops) which could be damaged by the acid
contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect
the surface on which you store the battery.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F or
below -10° F.
• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery
compartment. Always use the battery clamp (engine
cover) to secure the battery in the battery compartment.
• Examine the battery, charger and their connectors for
excessive wear or damage each time you charge the
battery. If damage is detected, do not use the charger
or the battery until you have replaced the worn or
damaged part.

Rules for Safe Driving
J
RIDING HAZARD
WARNING
Prevent Injuries and Deaths
• Direct Adult Supervision Required
• Keep Children Within Safe Riding Areas
These areas must be:
Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!
- away from swimming pools and other
bodies of water to prevent drownings
- generally level to prevent tipovers
- away from steps, driveways, cars,
roads and alleys.
7. Do not allow your child to drive on sloped or inclined
surfaces. Restrict your child’s driving to generally
level ground ONLY!
8. Do not allow your child to drive down or across a
steep slope.
- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the
pedal is released to stop.
- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.
- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle
to slip.
Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to
drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their
judgment skills are still very immature. Unsupervised dri-
ving by children can lead to serious injury. Before children
use this vehicle, an adult should carefully evaluate the
driving area as well as the children’s skill level and ability
to drive this vehicle safely. Children are not always able to
recognize or anticipate hazards, even when they have
been taught about them. There is no acceptable substi-
tute for direct adult supervision.
9. Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines. The
motor may stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at
an unsafe speed.
10. Never put anything near any moving parts. Rotating
parts such as motors, gear boxes and wheels can snag
fingers, hair, etc., causing serious injury. Do not allow
operation of the vehicle when it is on its side or in an
upside-down position.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing
operation of this vehicle. These rules should also be
reviewed with neighborhood children or other playmates
who want to drive this vehicle.
11. Do not operate the vehicle near flammable vapors
(gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.).
The vehicle’s electrical switches, like most electrical
switches, emit an internal spark when first turned on or
turned off. The presence of flammable liquids or vapors
could cause an explosion or a fire. Keep all flammable
products in tightly sealed containers and away from
the vehicle.
Riding Rules

Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Vehicle does not run
Undercharged battery
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 connectors. Make sure the battery connector is
tightly plugged into the charger connector, and that the
charger is plugged into the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is “ON”.
Charger is not working
Tripped thermal fuse
There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless
you have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with
your charger, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized
service center. They can test your charger for you.
The built-in thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down operation
of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving condi-
tions 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 50 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.
Loose wire or loose connectors
Dead battery
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery
connector is tightly plugged into the motor harness connector
and that there are no loose wires around the motors.
If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery
Care instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are
unsure whether or not the battery are dead, you can have
it tested at your local Power Wheels® authorized
service center.
Electrical switch damage
The electrical switches can become corroded due to
exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt,
sand or gravel. Contact your local Power Wheels® authorized
service center for diagnosis and repair.
