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”, remove your foot
from the pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds
before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated
automatic shut-downs, avoid severe driving conditions.

If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under •
normal driving conditions, please contact your local
Power Wheels® Authorized Service Center.

To prevent damaging the motors and gears, teach your •
child to stop the vehicle before switching direction.

or excessive wear

CAUTION

Use the charger in dry locations only.

Make sure you charge the battery for at least 18 hours •
using the enclosed Power Wheels® 6 volt charger
before operating your vehicle for the first time. Charge
the battery for at least 14 hours after each use of the
vehicle. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage your
battery and will void your warranty.

Use only a Power Wheels•
connector (input 120 VAC, 60Hz, with an output of
6 VDC) to charge your Power Wheels® 6 volt battery.

®

Plug the charger connector into the battery connector.•
Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet.•

Notes:

- If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by
a switch, make sure the switch is “ON”.

- Use the charger only in a wall outlet. Do not plug the
charger into a ceiling outlet.

Once the battery is charged, disconnect the battery •
connector from the charger connector. Unplug the
charger from the wall outlet. Refer to the Battery
Installation section for instructions on installing
your battery. If your battery is already installed in
your vehicle, simply re-connect the motor harness
connector to 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 place 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 place your battery.

Charge the battery in a well ventilated area.•
