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 60 minutes for assembly.

• Use this vehicle ONLY outdoors. Most interior flooring
can be damaged by riding this vehicle indoors.
Fisher-Price® will not be responsible for damage to
the floor if the vehicle is used indoors.

• You must charge your battery for 18-30 hours
before you use your vehicle for the first 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 fire, 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”, release the button
on the steering wheel 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.

• If you have any questions about your Power Wheels®
vehicle, please call our toll-free service lines at
