ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Important Notes
•Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours
before you use it in your vehicle for the first time.
•Werecommendthatyoustartchargingyourbatterybefore
beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
•Thebatterymustbeuprightwhilecharging.
•Thechargerisnotatoy.
•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akitchen
counter top) 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(input120VAC,60Hzwithanoutputof6VDC,7.2W)
to charge your Power Wheels®6 volt battery.
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yourbatteryisoldandwillnotacceptacharge,donot
leave it in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from
the vehicle.
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 and wait approximately 25 seconds before operating the
vehicleagain.Toavoidrepeatedautomaticshut-downs,donot
overload the vehicle by exceeding the 65 lb. (29.5 kg) maximum
weight capacity 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 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
