IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• You must charge your battery for 18 - 30 hours before use in your
vehicle for the first time.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• Do not short circuit 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 charge the battery on a surface (such as kitchen countertops)
which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take
precautions to protect the surface on which you charge your battery.
• Use only a Power Wheels®Super 6 volt charger with an A-style
connector (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15W with an output of 6 VDC, 1200mA,
7.2W) to charge your Power Wheels®6 volt battery.
• The charger is not a toy.
•
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. Please call 1-800-348-0751.
• If you have any questions about your Power Wheels®battery, please call
our toll-free service lines at 1-800-348-0751 from 9 AM to 7 PM (EST)
Monday through Friday and 11 AM to 5 PM Saturday. Trained customer
service representatives are available to take your call in English or French.

CONSUMER INFORMATION

ABOUT THERMAL FUSES
7
About Thermal Fuses
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 or hand from the button and wait approximately
25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic
shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the maximum weight
capacity (as listed in your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual) or by towing anything
behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up
slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop
spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors and make sure
your child stops the vehicle before switching speeds or direction. If a
thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving conditions,
please contact your local Power Wheels®Authorized Service Center. For the
location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you, visit us on-line at
www.powerwheels.com, or call 1-800-348-0751.

Avertissement
• Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. If your charger has an LED,
the LED lights. The LED on the charger does not indicate the charge
status of your battery. The LED allows you to see that there is power
from the wall outlet to the charger.
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.
• Before first time use, charge the battery for at least 18 hours.
• Recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use of your vehicle.
• Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
• Once the battery is charged, disconnect the charger connector from the
battery connector. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet. The battery
is now charged and is ready to be installed in your vehicle. Please see
“Battery Installation” in your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and
place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See information below 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.
•
Charge a new battery for at least 18 hours before using in your
vehicle. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours. Overcharging or
undercharging the battery may shorten battery life and decrease vehicle
running time.
• Charge the battery after each use, regardless of how long the vehicle
was used.
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely before charging.
• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle.
• Charge the battery at least once per month, even if the vehicle has not
been 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 on a surface (such as a kitchen counter top)
which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery.
Take precautions to protect the surface on which you store the battery.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F or below -10° F.
