• Your new vehicle requires adult assembly. Please set aside at least 60 minutes for assembly.

• You must charge your batteries for 18 - 30 hours before you use your vehicle for the first time. We recommend that you start charging your batteries before beginning assembly. Please see Battery Charging beginning on page 8 for detailed instructions.

• 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.

• This 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.

• 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.

• Please note that the front wheel of the vehicle can lift slightly off the ground during use, especially if the vehicle is driven forward in high speed from a stopped position. This is a normal occurrence and is not cause for alarm. The vehicle will not tip. The rear wheel is designed to act as a stabilizer by restricting front wheel lift, preventing the vehicle from tipping. To prevent front wheel lift, teach your child to start the vehicle in low speed and shift to high speed only when already moving forward.

• For safety reasons, your vehicle has been pre-set so that it will operate at low speed. You must connect

the high speed hook-up to allow operation of the vehicle at high speed. Please see page 25 for

detailed instructions.

• To prevent damaging the motors and gears, teach your child to stop the vehicle before switching direction. Do not tow anything behind the vehicle or overload it. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 65 lb (30 kg).

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. Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.

• Do not charge the battery on a surface which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. 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 thermal 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 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, or visit www.powerwheels.com.

CAUTION

Use the charger in dry locations only.
