About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels 6 volt battery with A-style connector
is equipped with a built-in thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a self­resetting 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”, remove your foot
from the pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds before operating the
vehicle again.To avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not overload
the vehicle by exceeding the 65 lbs (29.5 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 and 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 Power Wheels® Authorized
Service Center. For the location of the Authorized Service Center
nearest to you, visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com, or call

1-800-348-0751.

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 short circuit the battery.

• 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® 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 Power Wheels® 6 volt battery.

• Adults Note: Regularly examine the charger for damage to the
cord, plug, housing or other parts that may result in the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury. In the event of any damage, do not use
the charger until the damage has been properly repaired. Please
call 1-800-348-0751.

• 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.
