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 12-36 months of age and older.
Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of
40 lbs (18 kg).
Your new vehicle requires adult assembly. Please set•
aside 20 minutes for assembly.
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.
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.•

damage to the cord, plug, housing or other parts that

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”, release the button
on the steering wheel 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.

Plug the battery connector into the charger connector.•
Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.•
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.
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
your vehicle, simply re-connect the motor harness
connector to 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 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.•
