• The charger is not a toy.
• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case for
cracks or other damage which may allow sulfuric acid
(electrolyte) to leak during the charging process. Never
attempt to charge a damaged battery. If damage is detect-
ed, do not charge the battery or use it in your vehicle.
Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe dam-
age to surfaces it contacts.Take precautions to protect any
surface on which you charge the battery.
• The battery must be upright while charging.

AboutThermal Fuses
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 con-
ditions too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, it will automat-
ically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds and allow
the vehicle to resume normal operations.To avoid repeated
automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by
exceeding the 65 lb. maximum weight capacity or by towing
anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions,
such as driving up very steep 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 direction.
If a thermal fuse in the battery continually trips under nor-
mal driving conditions, please contact your local Power
Wheels®Authorized Service Center. Please see page 23 for
the location of the authorized service center nearest to you.

5. Do not operate this vehicle with more than one rider,
seated on the seating area. 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.
6. Always wear shoes or sneakers when operating
this vehicle.
7. 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.
8. 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 tight-
ly sealed containers and away from the vehicle.
9. Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without proper
adult supervision.To prevent unsupervised use of the vehi-
cle, disconnect the motor harness from the battery when
the vehicle is not in use.

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 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.
1. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or
near moving (motorized) vehicles.
2. 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).
3. 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 in a well-lit area.
4. 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 of no more than 10°.
• While driving down a steep slope, the vehicle may gain
unsafe speed, even if the foot pedal is released to stop.
• While driving across a steep slope, the vehicle may
tilt and tip over.The wheels could lose traction,
causing the vehicle to slip.
• While driving up a steep incline, the motor may stop and
the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.
WARNING
• Adult supervision is required. Children
do not have the judgement necessary to
avoid many accidents. Be sure that
children operating this vehicle can do so
safely and that they are supervised at all
times.
• Never use near steps, driveways, steep
inclines, roadways, alleys, swimming
pool areas or other bodies of water.
• Always wear shoes or sneakers when
operating this vehicle.
• Never allow more than one rider.
• The rider should sit on the seat when
the vehicle is in operation.

To disconnect the motor harness connector and
battery connector:
• Remove the seat.
• Unplug the motor harness connector from the
battery connector.
• Re-assemble the seat.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always remember to re-assemble the
seat to prevent children from accessing the battery.

Caring For
Your Vehicle
• Check all nuts, bolts, screws, retainers and their protective
coverings regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic
parts on a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.
• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be
stored inside or under a protective cover. Remember to
charge the battery at least once per month while your
vehicle is not in regular use.
• Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions,
and do not spray the vehicle with a hose. Do not wash the
vehicle with soap and water. Water or moisture in the
motors or electrical switches can cause them to corrode,
and could cause switch or motor failure.
• Avoid operating the vehicle on sand, loose dirt or gravel.
Sand, loose dirt or gravel in the motors or electrical
switches can cause them to jam, and could cause switch
or motor failure.
• The vehicle can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth. For
a shiny finish, you can wipe plastic parts with a non-wax
furniture polish applied to a soft-cloth. Do not use automo-
tive wax. Do not use soap and water or spray the vehicle
with a hose.
• To ensure that your vehicle stays in good operating order,
we recommend that you periodically have your vehicle
checked by a Power Wheels®Authorized Service Center.
See page 23 for the list of Authorized Service Centers or

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 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.
Tripped thermal fuse The thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down operation of the
vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions
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 65 lb. maxi-
mum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the
vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up
very steep hills or running 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 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.
Dead battery 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. Always remove a dead battery from
your vehicle.
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.
Motor damage Contact your local Power Wheels®Authorized Service Center
for diagnosis and repair.
