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 mini-bike if the mini-bike 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 mini-bike to resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the mini-bike by exceeding the 150 lb. maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the mini-bike. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up 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, see page 23 or call 1-800-348-0751.

Battery Charging

• Plug the charger connector into the battery .

• Plug the charger into a standard 120 volt wall outlet . Note: If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a

switch, make sure the switch is “ON”.

• Before first-time use, charge the battery for at least 18 hours. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

• Recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use of your vehicle. Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

• Once the battery is charged, pull firmly on the charger connector to disconnect it from the battery. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet. The battery is now ready to be installed in your mini-bike. Please see the Battery Installation section on page 14 for detailed instructions to install your battery.

Charger Connector

IMPORTANT!

• Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours before you use it in your mini-bike for the first time. We recommend that you start charging

your battery before beginning assembly of your new mini-bike.

• The battery must be upright while charging.

• The charger is not a toy.

• Do not short circuit the battery.

• 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 mini-bike. 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®12 volt charger with type “12V” connector (120 VAC 60 Hz 28W with an output of 12 VDC 1200mA) to charge your Power Wheels

rechargeable 12 volt battery.

• For best performance, use only a Power Wheels

12 volt battery. Please contact your local Power Wheels

Authorized Service Center for a replacement battery. To find the authorized service center nearest you, see page 23 or call 1-800-348-0751.

• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it in the mini-bike. Always remove a dead battery from the mini-bike.
