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", remove your foot from the
pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds before operating the
vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not
overload the vehicle by exceeding the 65 lb. (29.5 kg) 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 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, 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.
• We recommend that you start charging your battery before
beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to
recharge it.
• 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 (such as a kitchen
counter top) 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 (input 120 VAC,
60 Hz with an output of 12 VDC, 1200 mA) to charge your
Power Wheels® 12 volt 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.
Please call 1-800-348-0751.
• 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.

SAFE DRIVING RULES
RIDING HAZARD
WARNING
• Prevent Injuries and Deaths
• Direct Adult Supervision Required.
• Never Ride at Night.
• Keep Children Within Safe Riding Areas.
Riding areas must be:
- Away from swimming pools and other
bodies of water to prevent drownings
- Generally level to prevent tip overs
- 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 1 (one) rider at a time.
Restrict your child's driving to areas that are generally level.
Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive
this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgment skills
are still very immature. Unsupervised driving by children can
lead to serious injury. Before children use this vehicle, an adult
should carefully evaluate the driving area as well as the children’s
skill level and ability to drive this vehicle safely. Children are not
always able to recognize or anticipate hazards, even when they
have been taught about them. There is no acceptable substitute
for direct adult supervision.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing operation
of this vehicle. These rules should also be reviewed with neighborhood
children or other playmates who want to drive this vehicle.
Low Speed Drive
Riding Rules
Make sure children know and follow these rules for safe driving:
1. Always sit on the seat.
2. Always wear shoes.
3. Only 1 (one) rider at a time. A child who is not sitting on the seat
or who is standing on the vehicle could fall off, cause a tip-over
or block the driver’s view. A child could be seriously injured.
4. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near
moving (motorized) vehicles.
5. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of water (such as
pools or creeks), obstructions (such as furniture, low tree limbs
or play equipment), or drop-offs (such as stairs or decks).
6. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the dark. A child
could encounter unexpected obstacles and have an accident.
Operate the vehicle only in the daytime or a well-lit area.
7. Restrict your child's driving to areas that are generally level with
gentle inclines or slopes.
8. Do not allow your child to drive down or across a steep slope.
- The vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the pedal is
released to stop.
- The vehicle may tilt and tip over.
- The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.
9. Do not allow your child to drive up steep inclines. The motor may
stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.
10. Never put anything near any moving parts. Rotating parts such
as motors, gear boxes and wheels can snag fingers, hair, etc.,
causing serious injury. Do not allow operation of the vehicle
when it is on its side or in an upside-down position.
11. Do not operate the vehicle near flammable vapors (gasoline, paint
thinner, acetone, liquid wax, etc.). The vehicle’s electrical switches,
like most electrical switches, emit an internal spark when first
turned on or turned off. The presence of flammable liquids or
vapors could cause an explosion or a fire. Keep all flammable
products in tightly sealed containers and away from the vehicle.
12. Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without direct adult
supervision. To prevent unsupervised use of the vehicle, disconnect
the motor harness from the battery when the vehicle is not in use.
To disconnect the motor harness:
- Press the rear tab on the seat and lift to remove.
- Lift the battery retainer to access the battery compartment.
- Pull the motor harness connector from the battery.
- Lift the battery retainer and slowly lower the battery into
the compartment.
- Replace the seat on the vehicle.

• Press the foot pedal. The vehicle goes forward or in reverse at a
maximum of 2½ mph.
• Help your child practice steering to learn how far and how
quickly to turn the handlebar when driving.
IMPORTANT! To prevent damaging the motors and gears, teach
your child to stop the vehicle before switching direction.
• Remove the seat to access the high speed hook-up.
• Locate the high speed connector in the opening inside the
front end of the vehicle. Plug the high speed connector (with
yellow tag) into the matching connector (with yellow tag).
• Re-assemble the seat.
• To prevent operation of the vehicle in high-speed, simply
disconnect the high speed connectors.
Advanced Use - High Speed
STOP!
• Your vehicle has a patented, electronic braking system that
automatically stops the vehicle when your child’s foot lifts from
the pedal.
• Make sure your child is comfortable with steering the vehicle
and automatically knows how to stop.
Twist Grip
to Activate
High Speed
• Turn the right grip to shift the vehicle into high speed. The
vehicle drives forward at a maximum of 5 mph.
• Help your child practice steering to learn how far and how quickly
to turn the handlebar when driving forward in high speed.
IMPORTANT! Use the vehicle ONLY outdoors. Most interior
flooring can be damaged by riding the vehicle indoors.
Fisher-Price® will not be responsible for damage to floors if
vehicle is used indoors.

P9723b-0920
VEHICLE CARE
• Check all screws, cap nuts and their protective coverings
regularly and tighten as required. Check plastic parts on
a regular basis for cracks or broken pieces.
• During snowy or rainy weather, the vehicle should be stored
inside or under a protective cover. Remember to charge the
battery at least once per month while your vehicle is not in
regular use.
• An extremely dirty vehicle can be rinsed with a hose but
avoid spraying directly into switches, motors and battery
compartment. Water or moisture in the motors or electrical
switches can cause them to corrode, and could cause switch
or motor failure.
• Avoid operating the vehicle on sand. Sand in the motors or
electrical switches can cause them to jam, and could cause
switch or motor failure.
• The vehicle can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth. For a shiny
finish, you can wipe plastic parts with a non-wax furniture polish
applied to a soft-cloth. Do not use automotive wax.
• To ensure that your vehicle stays in good operating order, we
recommend that you periodically have your vehicle checked by

Tripped thermal fuseThe 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 approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle
again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload
the vehicle by exceeding the 65 lbs (29.5 kg) maximum weight
capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive
up hills or run into 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.

Operation of vehicle in low speedIt is possible that only one rear wheel may spin when both rear
wheels are raised off the ground and the vehicle is in low speed.
This does not necessarily indicate a problem. Check for proper
operation of the drive system by raising the rear wheels off the
ground and pressing the foot pedal. If only one rear wheel spins,
carefully press your hand on the spinning wheel to slow it down.
The other rear wheel should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel
does not begin to spin, there may be a problem with the vehicle.
