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 new 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 your vehicle
to recharge it.

cracks or other damage which may allow sulfuric acid
(electrolyte) to leak during the charging process. Never
attempt to charge a damaged battery. 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 any surface on which you charge the battery.
• 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®6 volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) charger
(120 VAC 60 Hz 6W with an output of 6 VDC 2.4W

Battery Care
I
and Disposal
Battery Care and Disposal
CareDisposal
If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking
acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See
information below 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 vehicle has not been used.
• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will
ruin it.
• Always remove an exhausted battery from the vehicle.
Battery leakage and corrosion can damage the vehicle.
• Do not store the battery on a surface (such as a kitchen
countertop) which could be damaged by the acid
contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect
the surface on which you store the battery.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F
or below -10° F.
• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the
battery compartment. Always use the battery clamp
(bumper cover) to secure the battery in the battery
compartment.
• Examine the battery, charger and their connectors 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.
• Your Power Wheels
battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an
environmentally sound manner.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire. The battery
may explode or leak.
• Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in your regular,
household trash. The incineration, landfilling or mixing
of sealed lead-acid batteries with household trash is
prohibited by law in most areas.
• Return exhausted batteries to a federal or state
approved lead-acid battery recycler, such as a Power
Wheels®authorized service center, or a local seller of
automotive batteries. For the service center location
nearest you, please call 1-800-348-0751. Contact your
local waste management officials for other information
regarding the environmentally sound collection, recycling
and disposal of lead-acid batteries. If you live in the
State of Florida or Minnesota, it is prohibited by law for
anyone to throw away lead-acid batteries in the
municipal waste stream.
J
• Check all screws, cap nuts and their protective coverings
regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic parts on
a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.
• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be
stored inside or under a protective cover. Remember to
charge the battery at least once per month while your
vehicle is not in regular use.
• Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy conditions,
and do not spray the vehicle with a hose. Do not wash
the vehicle with soap and water. Water or moisture in the
motors or electrical switches can cause them to corrode,
and could cause switch or motor failure.
• Avoid operating the vehicle on sand, loose dirt or
gravel. Sand, loose dirt or gravel in the motors or
electrical switches can cause them to jam, and could
cause switch or motor failure.
• The vehicle can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth.
For a shiny finish, you can wipe plastic parts with a nonwax furniture polish applied to a soft-cloth. Do not use
auto-motive wax. Do not use soap and water or spray the
vehicle with a hose.
• To ensure that your vehicle stays in good operating order,
we recommend that you periodically have your vehicle
checked by a Power Wheels®authorized service center.
See page 22 for the list of authorized service centers or

Rules for Safe Driving
K
RIDING HAZARD
WARNING
Prevent Injuries and Deaths
• Direct Adult Supervision Required.
• 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, driveways, cars,
roads and alleys.
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.
7. Do not allow your child to drive on sloped or inclined
surfaces. Restrict your child’s driving to generally
level ground ONLY!
8. Do not allow your child to drive down or across a
steep slope.
- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the
button is released to stop.
- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.
- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle
to slip.
9. Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines. The
motor may stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at
an unsafe speed.
10. 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.
11. 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. The presence of flammable liquids or vapors
could cause an explosion or a fire. Keep all flammable
products in tightly sealed containers and away from
the vehicle.
12. Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without
direct adult supervision. To prevent unsupervised use of
the vehicle, disconnect the motor harness from the
battery when the vehicle is not in use.
Riding Rules
Make sure children know and follow these rules for
safe driving:
1. Always sit on the seat.
2. Always wear shoes.
3. 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.
4. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street
or near moving (motorized) vehicles.
5. 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).
6. 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.
