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 65 lb. maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up ver y steep slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors. 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 Pow er Wheels®Authorized Service Center.For the location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you, see page 32.

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 vehicle.Please see assembly steps 30 - 33 for detailed instructions on installing your battery. If your battery is already installed in your vehicle, simply re-connect the motor harness connector to the battery and re-assemble the decorative engine.
