About Thermal Fuses

Yo ur 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 (60 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, see page 32.
