Battery Charging

Important Notes

• Your new batteries must be charged for at least 18 hours before you use them in your vehicle for the first time.

• We recommend that you start charging your batteries before beginning assembly of your new vehicle.

• The batteries must be upright while charging.

• The charger is not a toy.

• Do not short circuit the batteries.

• You do not need to remove the batteries from your vehicle to recharge them.

• Before charging the batteries, examine the battery cases 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 batteries or use them in your vehicle.Batter y acid is very corrosive and can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.

• Do not charge the batteries on a surface which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the batteries.Take precautions to protect the surface on which you charge your batteries.

• Use only a Power Wheels®12 volt charger with A-style connector (120 VAC 60 Hz 28W with an output of 12 VDC 1200mA) to charge your Power Wheels®6 volt batteries.

• When replacing the 6 volt batteries, use only Power Wheels®6 volt batteries with A-style connectors and built-in thermal fuses. Power Wheels®6 volt batteries with external thermal fuses will not fit in the battery compartment of this vehicle.

About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels 6 volt batteries are equipped with built-in thermal fuses.The ther mal fuses are self-resetting safety devices which automatically “trip” and shut down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe.Once a fuse has “tripped”, it will automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal operations.To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 65 lbs. maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle.Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up very steep 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, see page 29.
