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 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. 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 Pow er Wheels®Authorized Service Center.For the location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you, see page 25.

Battery Charging

• Plug the charger connector into the battery .

• Plug the charger into a standard 120 volt wall outlet . Note: If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a

switch, make sure the switch is “ON”.

• Before first-time use, charge the battery for at least 18 hours. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

• Recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use of your vehicle.Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

• Once the battery is charged, pull firmly on the charger connector to disconnect it from the battery. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet.The battery is now ready to be installed in your vehicle.Please see the Battery Installation section on page 17 for detailed instructions on installing your battery. If your battery is already installed in your vehicle, simply re-connect the motor harness connector to the battery.

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.
