information and operating instructions before using

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 at least 20 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.

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 finger from
the button 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.
