WARNING

• Children can be harmed by small parts, sharp edges and sharp points in the vehicle’s unassembled state, or by electrical items. Care should be taken in unpacking and assembly of the vehicle. Children should not handle parts, batteries or help in assembly of the vehicle.

• Keep small parts such as the “AAA” batteries and plastic bags out of children’s reach. Dispose of plastic bags properly.

• Adult supervision is required. Children do not have the judgement necessary to avoid many accidents. Be sure that children operating this vehicle can do so safely and that they are supervised at all times.

• Improper use of this vehicle could lead to a serious or fatal accident. Allow children to play with this vehicle only when you have determined that they can do so safely. Follow all instructions to help your child enjoy this vehicle as safely as possible.

• Never use near steps, driveways, steep inclines, roadways, alleys, swimming pool areas or other bodies of water.

• Always wear shoes or sneakers when operating or riding in this vehicle.

• Never allow more than two riders; one driver and one passenger.

• Riders should sit on the seat when the vehicle is in operation.

• Hot motor covers. Handle carefully.

• Never alter this vehicle or its electrical system in any way. Alterations could cause a fire resulting in injury and could also ruin the electrical system.

• Use of the wrong type battery, fuse or charger could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in serious injury.

• Never add unauthorized parts to the vehicle or use substitute parts. Use only specified Power Wheels

replacement parts.

• Batteries must be handled by adults only.

• Never lift or carry the 6 volt batteries by the wires or connectors. This can damage the 6 volt batteries and possibly cause a fire resulting in injury. Lift and carry the 6 volt batteries by the cases only.

• Never permit a child to handle batteries. The 6 volt batteries are heavy and contain sulfuric acid (electrolyte), and if dropped, could result in serious injury. Read the cautions on the back panel of the 6 volt battery.

• Never allow children to charge the 6 volt batteries. Battery charging must be done by adults only. A child could be injured by the electricity involved in charging batteries.

• Examine the 6 volt batteries, charger and their connectors for excessive wear or damage each time you charge the 6 volt batteries. If damage or excessive wear is detected, do not use the vehicle until you have replaced the worn or damaged part as it could possibly cause a fire resulting in injury.

• Placing the “AAA” (LR03) batteries in the phone with the positive (+) and negative (-) markings the wrong way could cause damage or over-heating resulting in injury. The “AAA” (LR03) batteries must be positioned as shown on the battery compartment door.

Throughout this manual you will find important messages in the form of WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES.

COULD HURT YOUR CHILD OR YOU.

The message explains the hazard and

how you can avoid it.

CAUTION

• Do not operate your vehicle for the first time until you have inserted the 30 amp fuses into the 6 volt batteries and charged the 6 volt batteries for at least 18 hours. Never charge the 6 volt batteries longer than 30 hours.

• After first-time use, charge the 6 volt batteries for at least 14 hours after each use. You do not have to let the 6 volt batteries run down completely before recharging. Never charge the 6 volt batteries longer than 30 hours.

• Use the charger indoors only.

• Read and follow the Battery Care instructions on page 33. Failure to follow the Battery Care instructions may permanently damage your 6 volt batteries and will void your warranty.

• When you purchase replacement 6 volt batteries, you should buy a set. Using an older 6 volt battery with a new 6 volt battery may cause permanent damage to both 6 volt batteries.

• To avoid damaging motors and gears, do not overload the vehicle.

- Never allow more than two children in the vehicle at one time; one driver and one passenger.

- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 130 lbs.

- Do not tow anything behind the vehicle. The extra weight may overload it.

• 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 failure.

• Avoid operating the vehicle on sand, loose dirt or gravel. Sand, loose dirt and gravel in the electrical switches or motors can cause them to jam, and could cause switch failure. Use this vehicle on grass, asphalt or other hard surfaces.

Important Information

• Carefully read this manual for important safety information and operating instructions before using your vehicle.

• Please complete and return the enclosed Registration Card, or call 1-800-348-0751 to register your vehicle by phone.

• This vehicle is designed for use by children 3-7 years.

• Adult assembly is required.

• This vehicle has adjustable play seat belts. Please note that the adjustable seat belts are designed to be a play feature only and do not function as protective safety restraints.

• 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 1200 mA). Do not substitute any other batteries, fuses or charger.

• Before first-time use, charge the 6 volt batteries for

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.

• Charge the 6 volt batteries at least once per month, even if the vehicle has not been used.

• Do not store the 6 volt batteries in temperatures above 75˚ F or below -10˚ F.

• Even with proper care, the 6 volt batteries will not last forever. The life of the 6 volt batteries depends on how well you follow the Battery Care instructions and the total number of hours the 6 volt batteries are used. Please refer to the BatteryHandling/ Care/Disposal instructions on page 33 for detailed information about battery care.

• 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.
