IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Read this manual carefully for important safety • information and operating instructions before using your vehicle. Keep this manual for future reference, as it contains important information. The vehicle is designed for use on grass, asphalt, and • other hard surfaces; on generally level terrain; and by children 3 years of age and older. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 130 lbs (59 kg). Your new vehicle requires adult assembly. Please set • aside at least 45 minutes for assembly. Use this vehicle • ONLY outdoors. Most interior ﬂ ooring can be damaged by riding this vehicle indoors. Fisher-Price® will not be responsible for damage to the ﬂ oor if the vehicle is used indoors. You must charge your battery for 18-30 hours • before you use your vehicle for the ﬁ rst time. We recommend charging your battery before beginning assembly. Please see the Battery Charging section for detailed instructions. The battery charger is not a toy. • Do not short circuit the battery.• Adults Note: • Regularly examine the charger for damage to the cord, plug, housing or other parts that may result in the risk of ﬁ re, electric shock or injury. In the event of any damage, do not use the charger until the damage has been properly repaired. 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”, 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.

BATTERY CHARGING

ELECTRICAL HAZARD

WARNING

Battery can fall out and injure • a child if vehicle tips over. Always use battery retainer (door)

PREVENT FIRE•

- Never modify the electrical system. Alterations could cause a  re resulting in serious injury and could also ruin the electrical system.

- Use of the wrong type battery or charger could cause a  re or explosion resulting in serious injury.

- Use of Power Wheels® components in products other than Power Wheels® vehicles could cause overheating,  re or explosion.

The battery must be handled • by adults only. The battery is heavy and contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Dropping the battery could result in serious injury. Never allow children to charge the • battery. Battery charging must be done by adults only. A child could be injured by the electricity involved in charging the battery. Read the safety instructions on • the battery. Examine the battery, charger and • their connectors for excessive wear or damage each time you charge the battery. If damage or excessive wear is detected, do not use the charger or the battery until you have replaced the worn or damaged part.

CAUTION

• Make sure you charge the battery for at least 18 hours using the enclosed Power Wheels® 12 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 12 VDC) to charge your Power Wheels® 12 volt battery.

• Plug the charger connector into the battery socket.

• 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.

• 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.

• Once the battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the battery. 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.

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 2 (two) riders at a time. -

Before children use this vehicle, an adult should carefully evaluate the driving area as well as the child’s skill level and ability to drive the vehicle safely. Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing operation of this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed with other playmates who want to drive the vehicle.

A child who is not sitting on the seat could fall off, • cause a tip over or block the driver’s view. Only operate the vehicle in the daytime in a well-lit area. • Driving near steep inclines can cause:•

The vehicle to gain unsafe speed, even if the pedal is released to stop. The vehicle to tilt and tip over The wheels to lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip. -

The vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed. Never put anything near any moving parts. Rotating • parts, such as motors, gear boxes and wheels, can snag ﬁ ngers, hair, etc., causing serious injury. Do not allow operation of the vehicle when it is on its • side or in an upside-down position. Do not operate the vehicle near ﬂ ammable vapors • (gasoline, paint thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.). The vehicle’s electrical switches, like most electrical switches, emit an internal spark when ﬁ rst turned on or turned off, which could cause an explosion or ﬁ re. To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect • the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.

Use vehicle on generally level ground ONLY!

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

Check all connectors. Make sure the battery connector is tightly plugged into the charger connector, and that the charger is plugged into the wall.

Make sure power ﬂ ow to the wall outlet is “ON”.

Charger is not working There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless you

have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with your charger, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized service center. They can test your charger for you.

Tripped thermal fuse The built-in thermal fuse may “trip” and shut 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 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 130 lbs (59 kg) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into ﬁ xed 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.
