• This vehicle uses two Power Wheels®Type H 6 volt
(9.5 Amp/hr.) batteries with Power Wheels®30 amp
fuses and a Power Wheels®Type H 12 volt charger
(120 VAC 60 HZ 28W with an output of 12 VDC

at least 18 hours. Never charge the 6 volt batteries
longer than 30 hours.
• After the first charge, charge the 6 volt batteries a
minimum of 14 hours after each use. Never charge
the 6 volt batteries longer than 30 hours.
• Do not run down the 6 volt batteries completely
before charging.
• Leaving the 6 volt batteries in a discharged
condition will ruin them.
• Charge the 6 volt batteries before storing your
vehicle.

even if the vehicle has not been used.
• Do not store the 6 volt batteries in temperatures
above 75˚ F or below -10˚ F.

• When you purchase replacement Power Wheels
®
Type H (9.5 Amp/hr.) batteries, you should buy them
as a set. Using an older 6 volt battery with a new 6
volt battery may result in poor performance and
may cause permanent damage to both 6 volt
batteries. Remember to charge new 6 volt batteries
for at least 18 hours before first use.
• To purchase Power Wheels®Type H 6 volt batteries,
Power Wheels®30 amp fuses or a Power Wheels
®
Type H 12 volt charger, please contact:
- the store where your vehicle was purchased.
- an Authorized Service Center (see Authorized
Service Center list beginning on page 43).
- Power Wheels®Consumer Affairs at 1-800-348-0751.
• While the 6 volt batteries are charging, the charger
may become warm to the touch. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
• This vehicle is suitable for use on grass, asphalt or
other hard surfaces. To prevent damage to the
motors and switches, do not operate the vehicle
on loose dirt, gravel or sand.
• To prevent damage to electrical components, store
the vehicle inside or under a protective cover during
snowy or rainy weather. Do not leave the vehicle out
in the rain or let your child wash it with soap and
water.
• This vehicle has a special circuit-breaker in the wiring
to protect the motors and electrical system. If the
vehicle is put under extreme load (driving on rough
surfaces, too much weight, climbing too steep an
incline), the circuit-breaker will shut the electrical
system down for up to 20 seconds. If the system
repeatedly shuts down, the driving conditions may
be too demanding (ie: too steep or too much
weight).
• Metal parts have been coated with a lubricant to
protect them during shipment. Wipe all metal parts
with a paper towel to remove any excess lubricant.
