BATTERY CHARGING

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

CAUTION

WARNING

Use the charger in dry locations only.

• Battery can fall out and injure a child if

vehicle tips over. Always use battery

retainer.

About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels^®12 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”, 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

59 kg (130 lbs) 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.

• 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.

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

conditions, please contact 01628 500303 or visit us on-line at

www.service.mattel.com/uk.

• 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.

Important Notes

• Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours before

you use it in your vehicle for the first time.

• 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.

• 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.

• Read the safety instructions on the battery.

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

recharge it.

• 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 "12V" connector

(240 VAC, 50 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 contact

01628 500303 or visit us on-line at www.service.mattel.com/uk.

• 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.

BATTERY CARE AND DISPOSAL

Care

Disposal

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.

• Your Power Wheels^®battery is a non-spillable, sealed lead-acid

battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally

sound manner.

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 a fire. The battery may

explode or leak.

If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia or egg

whites immediately. Never give emetics or induce vomiting. Call

a physician.

• Protect the environment by not disposing of this product with

household waste (2002/96/EC). Check your local authority for

recycling advice and facilities (Europe only).

• 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.

• 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 an exhausted battery to a federal or state approved lead-acid

battery recycler, such as a Power Wheels^®authorised service centre

or a local seller of automotive batteries. For the authorised service

centre location nearest to you, please visit us on-line at

www.service.mattel.com/uk or call 01628 500303. Contact your

local waste management officials for other information regarding

the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of

lead-acid batteries.

• 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 a kitchen counter top)

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 24° C or below -24° C.

• Use only a Power Wheels^®12 volt battery. Remember to charge the

new battery for at least 18 hours before first use.

• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery compart-

ment. Always use the battery retainer 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.

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.

• Keep Children Within Safe Riding Areas.

These areas must be:

- away from swimming pools and other

bodies of water to prevent drownings

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.

Riding Rules

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

- generally level to prevent tipovers

1. Always sit on the seat.

- away from steps, steep inclines, cars,

roads and alleys.

2. Always wear shoes.

• Riding Rules

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.

Make sure children know and follow

these rules for safe driving and riding.

- Always sit on the seat.

- Always wear shoes.

- Only 2 (two) riders at a time.

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

moving (motorized) vehicles.

5. 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).

6. 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.

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.

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.

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.

12. 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.

VEHICLE OPERATION

IMPORTANT! Use this vehicle ONLY outdoors. Most interior floor-

ing can be damaged by riding this vehicle indoors. Fisher-Price^®

will not be responsible for damage to the floor if the vehicle is

used indoors.

Beginner Use - Low Speed Drive

• Your vehicle has a patented, electronic braking system that

automatically stops the vehicle when your child’s foot lifts from

the pedal. Make sure your child is comfortable with steering the

vehicle and automatically knows how to stop.

As assembled, your vehicle is ready to roll in low speed

(4 km/h, maximum). It has been pre-set so it will only operate in low

speed. After your child has mastered the basic skills of driving and

understands the rules for safe driving, it’s time to remove the high

speed lock-out screw to allow the vehicle to operate in low or high

speed. See the instructions on this page to remove the high

speed lock-out screw.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE

IMPORTANT! If you experience a problem with your vehicle, first check the Problems and Solutions Guide below. If you still experience

a problem, please contact 01628 500303 or www.service.mattel.com/uk.

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 Power Wheels^®Consumer Relations.

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 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To

avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle

by exceeding the 59 kg (130 lbs) 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 Power Wheels^®Consumer Relations.

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, contact Power Wheels^®

Consumer Relations.

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 Power Wheels^®Consumer Relations.

Motor damage
