About Thermal Fuses

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”, 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 130 lb. (59 kg). 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. 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, please visit us on-line at www.powerwheels.com or call 1-800-348-0751.

Important Notes

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

You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to recharge it.

The battery must be upright while charging.

The charger is not a toy.

Do not short circuit the battery.

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

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 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 battery.

Use only a Power Wheels® 12 volt charger with type “12V” connector (120 VAC 60 Hz 28W with an output of 12 VDC 1200mA) to charge your Power Wheels® rechargeable 12 volt battery.

If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from the vehicle.
