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 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 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. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you charge the battery.
• Use only a Power Wheels Super 6 Volt charger with an A-style connector (120VAC 60 Hz 15W with an output of 6VDC 7.2W) to charge your 6 volt battery.
About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels®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 the fuse has “tripped”, it will automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal operation. 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 very steep hills or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spin­ning while power is still being supplied to the motors.
If under normal use conditions the thermal fuse continually trips, contact your local Power Wheels®Authorized Service Center. Please refer to the Authorized Service Center list­ing beginning on page 23 for the location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you.
