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 2–6 years of age. Do not exceed the maximum
weight capacity of 65 lbs (29,5 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 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• ®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 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.
If you have any questions about your Power Wheels• ®
vehicle, please call our toll-free service lines at

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.-
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.
