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 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 30 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

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, 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.
To prevent damaging the motors and gears, teach your•
child to stop the vehicle before switching direction.

or excessive wear
is detected,
do not use the charger or
the battery until you have replaced the
worn or damaged part.
WARNING
CAUTION
Battery must be upright
while charging.
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

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 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.•

RIDING HAZARD
• 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 1 (one) rider at a time.
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.
