• 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.

• Do not charge the battery on a surface which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you charge your 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 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 24 for the location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you.

A-Style Battery Connector

Battery Charging

• Plug the charger and battery connectors together. Push firmly to make sure the two connectors are completely joined.

• 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, disconnect the charger connector from the battery connector.Unplug the charger from the wall outlet.The battery is now charged and is ready to be installed in your vehicle.Please see "Battery Installation" on page 17 for detailed battery installation instructions.
