About Thermal Fuses
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”,
it will automatically reset itself after approximately
25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal
operations.To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns,
do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 120 lb.
(54.4 kg). maximum weight capacity or by towing
anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving
conditions, such as driving up very steep slopes or
running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels
to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to
the motors.
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, please visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com
or call 1-800-348-0751.

If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking
acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. Please
refer to the information on this page 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 first
use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Overcharging or undercharging the battery may shorten
battery life and decrease vehicle running time.
•After the first charge, recharge the battery for at least
14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer
than 30 hours. Charge the battery after each use,
regardless of how long the vehicle was used.
•The battery must be upright while charging.
•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

•Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will
ruin it.
•If the vehicle will be stored for more than two months, be
sure to disconnect the motorharness from the battery.
•Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F
or below -10° F.
•Use only a Power Wheels®12 volt battery. Remember
to charge the new battery at least 18 hours before first
time use.
•Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery
compartment. Always use the battery clamp to secure the
battery in the battery compartment.
•Examine the battery, charger and its connector for
excessive wear or damage each time you charge the
battery. If damage is detected, do not use the charger
or the battery until you have replaced the worn or
damaged part.

Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to
drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their
judgment skills are still very immature. Unsupervised
driving by children can lead to serious injury. Before
children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully
evaluate the driving area as well as the children’s skill
level and ability to drive this vehicle safely. Children are
not always able to recognize or anticipate hazards, even
when they have been taught about them. THERE IS NO
ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE FOR DIRECT ADULT
SUPERVISION.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before
allowing operation of this vehicle.These rules should also
be reviewed with neighborhood children or other playmates
who want to drive this vehicle.
Riding Rules
Make sure children know and follow these rules for
safe driving:
1. Always sit on the seat.
2. Always wear shoes.
3. Always wear a helmet.
4. Never ride at night.
5. Only 1 (one) rider at a time. A child who is not sitting on
the seat or who is standing on the vehicle could fall off,
cause a tip-over or block the driver’s view. A child could
be seriously injured.
6. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street
or near moving (motorized) vehicles.
7. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water
(such as pools or creeks), obstructions (such as
furniture, low tree limbs or play equipment), or drop-offs
(such as stairs or decks).
8. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark.
A child could encounter unexpected obstacles and
have an accident. Operate the vehicle only in the
daytime or a well-lit area.
9. Do not allow your child to drive on steep inclines.
Restrict your child’s driving to generally level ground
ONLY!
10. Do not allow your child to drive down or across a
steep slope.
-The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the brake
pedal is pressed or the go pedal is released to stop.
-The vehicle may tilt and tip over.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Vehicle does not run Undercharged battery Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged
for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the first
time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for at least
14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer
than 30 hours.
Check all connectors. Make sure the charger connector is
plugged into the battery, and that the charger is plugged into
the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is “ON”.
Charger is not working There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless
you have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with
your charger, contact your local Power Wheels®authorized
service center. They can test your charger for you.
Tripped thermal fuse Each Power Wheels®12 volt battery has a built-in thermal
fuse. A thermal fuse may “trip” and shut down operation of the
vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions
too severe. The fuse will automatically reset itself after
approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to resume
normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do
not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 120 lb. maximum
weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do
not drive up hills or run into fixed objects, which can cause
the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied
to the motors. If a thermal fuse continually trips, contact your
local Power Wheels®authorized service center.
Loose wire or loose connectors Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor harness
connector is plugged into the battery, and that there are no
loose wires around the motors.
Dead battery If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery
Care instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are
unsure whether or not the battery is dead, you can have it
tested at your local Power Wheels®authorized service center.
Electrical switch damage The electrical switches can become corroded due to
exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt,
sand or gravel. Contact your local Power Wheels®authorized
service center for diagnosis and repair.
Motor damage Contact your local Power Wheels®authorized service center
for diagnosis and repair.
Vehicle was running but Loose wire or loose connectors Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor
suddenly stopped harness connector is plugged into the battery, and that there
are no loose wires around the motors.
