About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels® 6 volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) 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”, release the button on the handlebar and wait approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 40 lbs (18 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.

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 a kitchen counter top) inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you charge your battery.

• Use only a Power Wheels® 6 volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) charger (input 120 VAC 60 Hz) with an output of 6 VDC to charge your Power Wheels

• 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.

If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia or egg whites immediately. Never give emetics or induce vomiting. Call a physician.

• Charge a new battery for at least 18 hours before first use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours. Overcharging or undercharging the battery may shorten battery life and decrease vehicle running time.

• After the first charge, recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours. Charge the battery after each use, regardless of how long the vehicle was used.

• The battery must be upright while charging.

• Do not allow the battery to run down completely before charging.

• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle.

SAFE DRIVING RULES

RIDING HAZARD

WARNING

• Prevent Injuries and Deaths

• Direct Adult Supervision Required.

• Never Ride At Night.

• Keep Children Within Safe Riding Areas. These areas must be:

- away from swimming pools and other bodies of water to prevent drownings

- generally level to prevent tipovers

- away from steps, steep inclines, cars, roads and alleys.

• Riding Rules

Make sure children know and follow

these rules for safe driving and riding.

- Always sit on the seat.

- Always wear shoes.

- Only 1 (one) rider at a time.

Teach Safety Rules to Children

While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgment skills are still very immature. Unsupervised 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 rules 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 rules for safe driving:

1. Always sit on the seat.

2. Always wear shoes.

3. 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 driver’s view. A child could be seriously injured.

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

5. 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).

6. 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.

7. Do not allow your child to drive on sloped or inclined surfaces.

Restrict your child’s driving to generally level ground ONLY!

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

- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the button is

released to stop.

- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.

- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.

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

10. Never put anything near any moving parts. 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.

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

12. 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 connector when the vehicle is not in use.
