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 65 lbs (29,5 kg).
Your new vehicle requires adult assembly. Please set•
aside at least 30 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.•

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.

(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

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.

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.
