WARNING

About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels®12 volt 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 a fuse has “tripped”, it will automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal operations.To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 120 lb. (54.4 kg). maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle.Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up very steep slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors.

If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels®Authorized Service Center.For the location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you, please visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com or call 1-800-348-0751.

Teach Safety Rules to Children

While children can quickly develop the skill necessar y to drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgment skills are still very immature. Unsuper vised 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 r ules should also be reviewed with neighborhood children or other playmates who want to drive this vehicle.

Riding Rules

Make sure children know and follow these r ules for safe driving:

1. Always sit on the seat.

2. Always wear shoes.

3. Always wear a helmet.

4. Never ride at night.

5. 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 dr iver’s view. A child could be seriously injured.

6. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near moving (motorized) vehicles.

7. 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).

8. 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.

9. Do not allow your child to drive on steep inclines. Restrict your child’s driving to generally level ground ONLY!

10. Do not allow your child to drive down or across a steep slope.

- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the brake

pedal is pressed or the go pedal is released to stop.

- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.

- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle

to slip.

11. Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines.The motor may stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.

12. Use this vehicle only outdoors on private property. Do not use in streets, alleys or other public thoroughfares.

13. Never put anything near any moving par ts. 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.

14. Do not operate the vehicle near flammable vapors (gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.). The vehicle’s electr ical 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.

15. 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.

To disconnect the motor harness connector and battery:

•Remove the battery cover (clamp).

Vehicle does not run Undercharged battery Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged

for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the first time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

The fuse will automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 120 lb. maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors. If a thermal fuse continually trips, contact your local Power Wheels®authorized service center.

connector is plugged into the battery, and that there are no loose wires around the motors.
