IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Read this manual carefully for important safety•
information and operating instructions before using
your vehicle. Keep this manual for future reference,
as it contains important information.
The vehicle is designed for use on grass, asphalt, and•
other hard surfaces; on generally level terrain; and by
children 3 years of age and older. Do not exceed the
maximum weight capacity of 130 lbs (59 kg).
Your new vehicle requires adult assembly. Please set•
aside at least 45 minutes for assembly.
Use this vehicle• ONLY outdoors. Most interior flooring
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.
You must charge your battery for 18-30 hours• before
you use your vehicle for the first time. We recommend
charging your battery before beginning assembly. Please
see the Battery Charging section for detailed instructions.
The battery charger is not a toy.•
Do not short circuit the 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.
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, avoid severe driving conditions.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under•
normal driving conditions, please contact your local
Power Wheels®Authorized Service Center.
To prevent damaging the motors and gears, teach your•
child to stop the vehicle before switching direction.

a child if vehicle tips over.
Always use battery retainer.
PREVENT FIRE•
- Never modify the electrical system.
Alterations could cause a re
resulting in serious injury and could
also ruin the electrical system.
- Use of the wrong type battery
or charger could cause a re or
explosion resulting in serious injury.
- Use of Power Wheels®components
in products other than
Power Wheels®vehicles could
cause overheating, re 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.
Never allow children to charge the•
battery. Battery charging must be
done by adults only. A child could
be injured by the electricity 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.
CAUTION
Use the charger in dry locations only.
• Make sure you charge the battery for at least 18 hours
using the enclosed Power Wheels®12 volt charger
before operating your vehicle for the first time. Charge
the battery for at least 14 hours after each use of the
vehicle. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage your
battery and will void your warranty.
• Use only a Power Wheels®12 volt charger with “12V”
connector (input 120 VAC, 60Hz, with an output of 12
VDC) to charge your Power Wheels®12 volt battery.
• Plug the charger connector into the battery socket
A

B
.
Notes:
- If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a switch,
make sure the switch is “ON”.
- Use the charger only in a wall outlet. Do not plug the
charger into a ceiling outlet.
• 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 place 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 place your battery.
• Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.
• Once the battery is charged, disconnect the battery
connector from the charger connector. Unplug the
charger from the wall outlet. Refer to the Battery
Installation section for instructions on installing
your battery. If your battery is already installed in

RIDING HAZARD
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.
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 2 (two) riders at a time.-
Before children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully
evaluate the driving area as well as the child’s skill level
and ability to drive the vehicle safely. Teach appropriate
safety rules to your child before allowing operation of
this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed with
other playmates who want to drive the vehicle.
A child who is not sitting on the seat could fall off,•
cause a tip over or block the driver’s view.
Only operate the vehicle in the daytime in a well-lit area.•
Driving near steep inclines can cause:•
The vehicle to gain unsafe speed, even if the pedal is-
released to stop.
The vehicle to tilt and tip over-
The wheels to lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.-
The vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.-
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.
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, which could cause an explosion or fire.
To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect•
the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is
not in use.
SAFE DRIVING RULES
Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!
