About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels®battery is equipped with a built-in thermal fuse.The ther mal 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 (29.5 kg) 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. Make sure your child stops the vehicle before switching between forward and reverse.
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.

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 shor t circuit the batter y.

• 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.Batter y acid is very corrosive and can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.
• Do not charge the batter y on a surface (such as kitchen counter tops) 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®Super 6™ Volt charger with an A-style connector (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15W with an output of 6 VDC, 7.2W) to charge your 6 volt battery.
• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from the vehicle.
