BATTERY CHARGING

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels^®12 volt battery is equipped with a built-in

WARNING

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", remove your foot from the pedal and wait

approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To

avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by

exceeding the 130 lbs. (59 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 and make sure your child stops the vehicle before

switching direction.

If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving

conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels^®Authorized

Service Center. For the location of the Authorized Service Center

nearest to you, visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com,

or call 1-800-348-0751.

• Battery can fall out and injure a child if

vehicle tips over. Always use battery retainer.

• PREVENT FIRE

- 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.

Important Notes

• 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.

• Do not short circuit the battery.

• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to

recharge it.

• 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.

• Never allow children to charge the battery.

Battery charging must be done by adults

only. A child could be injured by the elec-

tricity involved in charging the battery.

• 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 damage

or excessive wear is detected, do not use

the charger or the battery until you have

replaced the worn or damaged part.

• 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 a kitchen counter

top) 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^®12 volt charger with "12 V" connector

(input 120 VAC, 60 Hz with an output of 12 VDC, 1200 mA)

to charge your Power Wheels^®12 volt battery.

Adults Note: Regularly examine the charger for damage to the

cord, plug, housing or other parts that may result in the risk of fire,

electric shock or injury. In the event of any damage, do not use

the charger until the damage has been properly repaired. Please

call 1-800-348-0751.

CAUTION

Use the charger in dry locations only.

• 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.

SAFE DRIVING RULES

Teach Safety Rules to Children

RIDING HAZARD

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 driving 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 substitute for direct adult supervision.

WARNING

• Prevent Injuries and Deaths

• Direct Adult Supervision Required.

• Never Ride at Night.

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.

• Keep Children Within Safe Riding Areas.

These areas must be:

- away from swimming pools and other

bodies of water to prevent drownings

Riding Rules

Make sure children know and follow these rules for safe driving:

1. Always sit on the seat.

2. Always wear shoes.

3. Only 2 (two) riders at a time. A child who is not sitting on the seat

or who is standing on the vehicle could fall off, cause a tip-over or

block the driver’s view. A child could be seriously injured.

4. Never ride in the cargo bed. Cargo bed weight limit is

25 lbs (11.3 kg).

- generally level to prevent tipovers

- away from steps, steep inclines, cars,

roads and alleys.

• Riding Rules

Make sure children know and follow

these rules for safe driving and riding.

- Always sit on the seat.

- Always wear shoes.

5. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near

moving (motorized) vehicles.

6. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water (such as pools

or creeks), obstructions (such as furniture, low tree limbs or play

equipment), or drop-offs (such as stairs or decks).

- Only 2 (two) riders at a time.

- Never ride in cargo bed.

7. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark. A child could

encounter unexpected obstacles and have an accident. Operate

the vehicle only in the daytime or a well-lit area.

8. Teach your child to avoid driving on steep inclines or slopes. Restrict

your child's driving to areas that are fairly level with gentle inclines

or slopes.

9. 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.

10. Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines. The motor may

stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.

11. 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.

Restrict your child's driving to areas that are generally level.

12. 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.

13. Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without direct adult

supervision. To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect

the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.

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 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”.

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 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^®

authorized service center.

Loose wire or loose connectors

Dead battery

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.

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 is dead, you can have it tested at your local

Power Wheels^®authorized service center.

Electrical switch damage

Motor damage

The electrical switches can become corroded due to exposure to

water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.
