About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels®6 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 shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 50 lbs (22.5 kg.) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up slopes 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 speeds or direction.

If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving conditions, please contact your local independently owned and operated Power Wheels

Authorized Service Center. For the location of the nearest you, visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com.

IMPORTANT!

• 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 short circuit the 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.

• Once installed, you do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to recharge it.

• 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 (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®Type H 6 volt charger (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 12W with an output of 6 VDC 4.8W 800mA) to charge your Power Wheels®Type H 6 volt battery.

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

• Plug the charger into a standard 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 ready to be installed in your vehicle. Please see the Battery Installation section on page 17 for detailed instructions on installing your battery.

Battery Connector

Charger Connector

• Squeeze the connector tabs on the charger connector and plug it into the battery connector.

IMPORTANT! If you are recharging your battery, you will first need to lift the hood and remove the battery clamp (pretend engine cover). Disconnect the battery connector from the motor harness connector.
