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”, it
will automatically 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 130 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 speeds or 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, see page 27.

Important Note: Use only a Power Wheels®12 volt battery.
Use of any other battery will damage your vehicle. Make
sure that 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. It is easier to install the battery before
assembling the hood to your vehicle. If you have already
assembled the hood to your vehicle, you may want to
remove it to install the battery.

Battery Care
and Disposal
Battery Care and Disposal
I
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.
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with cool
water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.
If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia
or egg whites immediately. Never give emetics or induce
vomiting.Call a physician.
• 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.
• 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.
•Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F
or below -10° F.
•Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery
compartment. Always use the battery retainer to secure
the battery in the battery compartment.
•Examine the battery, charger and its connector 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.
• Your Power Wheels®battery is a sealed lead-acid
battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an
environmentally sound manner.
• 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 the battery to a federal or state approved lead-
acid battery recycler, such as a Power Wheels®
authorized service center, or a local seller of automotive
batteries. Contact your local waste management officials
for other information regarding the environmentally sound
collection, recycling and disposal of lead-acid batteries.

Rules for Safe Driving
J
5. Do not operate this vehicle with more than two riders;
one driver and one passenger seated in 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 tightly 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 vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the
battery when the vehicle is not in use.
To disconnect the motor harness connector
and battery:
• Raise the hood to access the battery.
• Unplug the motor harness connector from the battery.
• Lower the hood and fasten the hood latches.
Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to
drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their
judgement 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 two riders; one driver
and one passenger.
• The riders should sit on the seat when the
vehicle is in operation.
10°
Incline should never be more than 10°
