- Never modify the electrical system. Alterations
could cause a fire resulting in serious injury and
could also ruin the electrical system.
- Use of the wrong type battery or charger could
cause a fire or explosion resulting in serious injury.
- Use of Power Wheels®components in products
other than Power Wheels®vehicles could cause
overheating, fire or explosion.
• The battery must be handled by adults only.
The battery is heavy and contains sulfuric acid
(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 charger or the battery
until you have replaced the worn or damaged part.
• HOT motors. Handle carefully.
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 130 lbs (59 kg).
• Your new vehicle requires adult assembly. Please set aside
at least 60 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.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal
driving conditions, please call us at 1300 135 312.
• This vehicle has adjustable play seat belts. Please note that
the adjustable seat belts are designed to be a play feature
and do not function as protective safety restraints.

• 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 charger or the battery until you have replaced the
worn or damaged part.
BATTERY CHARGING
• 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 220 VAC, 50 Hz, with an output of 12 VDC) to charge your
Power Wheels®12 volt battery.
• 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.
Use the charger in dry locations only.
CAUTION
• Plug the charger connector into the battery socket.
• 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.

RIDING HAZARD
Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!
• Prevent Injuries and Deaths
• Direct Adult Supervision Required
• Never Ride at Night.
• 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 2 (two) riders at a time.
WARNING
SAFE DRIVING RULES
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.
• To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect the
motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.

Troubleshooting Îservice.sher-price.com 19
Y2189pr-0729
VEHICLE OPERATION
• Help your child practice steering to learn how far and
how quickly to turn the steering wheel when driving, and
automatically knows how to stop.
Beginner Use – Low Speed
• As assembled, your vehicle is ready to roll in low speed
4 km/h maximum.
STOP
• Make sure the shifter is in the low speed position.
• Press down on the foot pedal.
IMPORTANT! To avoid damaging the motors and gears, stop
the vehicle before shifting from forward to reverse.
• Once your child is completely comfortable with operating
the vehicle forward, introduce reverse .
• Make sure the shifter is in the reverse position.
• Press down on the foot pedal. The vehicle is designed to
operate in low speed only in reverse.
• Remove your foot from the pedal to stop!
Advanced Use – High Speed
• Before you disconnect the high speed lock-out, make sure
your child knows how to steer, how to start and stop the
vehicle and knows the rules for safe driving. When the high
speed lock-out is disconnected, the vehicle can be driven
forward in low speed 4 km/h maximum or high speed
8 km/h maximum.
• Make sure the shifter is in the reverse position.
• Loosen and remove the screw in the shifter box.
• Place the lock-out screw into the hole in the vehicle for
future use. It can be re-inserted into the shifter box to lock-
out high speed.
• Make sure the shifter is in the high speed position.
• Press down on the foot pedal.
Remove lock-out screw
for high speed.
Place lock-out screw
here for storage.

BATTERY CARE
• If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking
acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See
next section 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.
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely
before charging.
• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle, and at least
once per month, even if the vehicle has not been used.
• Charge the battery after each use, regardless of how long
the vehicle was used.
• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will ruin it.
• Always remove an exhausted battery from the vehicle.
Battery leakage and corrosion can damage the vehicle.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 24° C or
below -23° C.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
• Your Power Wheels®battery is a non-spillable 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 a fire. The battery
may explode or leak.
• 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 an exhausted battery to a federal or state approved
lead-acid battery recycler, such as 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.
• Protect the environment by not disposing of this product with
household waste (2002/96/EC). Check your local authority
for recycling advice and facilities
