BATTERY CHARGING
Use the charger in dry locations only.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
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.
• 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, 28W 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.
• 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.
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 65 lb. (29.5 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 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 theAuthorized Service Center
nearest to you, visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com,
or call 1-800-348-0751.

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

SAFE DRIVING RULES
K
L7822pr-0920
14
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 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.
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:
1.Always sit on the seat.
2.Always wear shoes.
3.Only 1 (one) rider at a time.Achild 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. Achild could be seriously injured.
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. Achild 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.
RIDING HAZARD
• 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
- 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.
- Only 1 (one) rider at a time.
WARNING

L7822pr-0920 15
VEHICLE OPERATION
• 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.
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.
To Back Up
• Make sure the shifter is in the low speed position 1.
• Press down on the foot pedal 2. The vehicle goes forward at a
maximum of 21/2mph 3. Help your child practice steering to learn
how far and how quickly to turn the steering wheel when driving
forward in low speed.
Beginner Use - Low Speed Drive
As assembled, your vehicle is ready to roll in low speed
(21/2mph, 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.
