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 59 kg (130 lb) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up 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 Power Wheels® Customer Service.

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.
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.

Disposal

Your Power Wheels® battery is a sealed lead-acid battery. It must be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.
Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in your regular, household trash. The incineration, landfilling or mixing of sealed lead-acid batteries with household trash is prohibited by law in most areas.
Return exhausted batteries to an approved lead-acid battery recycler. Contact your local waste management officials for other information regarding the environmentally sound collection, recycling and disposal of lead-acid batteries.

Rules for Safe Driving

WARNING

Adult supervision is required. Children do not have the judgement necessary to avoid many accidents. Be sure that children operating this vehicle can do so safely and that they are supervised at all times.
Never use near steps, driveways, steep inclines, roadways, alleys, swimming pool areas or other bodies of water.
Always wear shoes or sneakers when operating this vehicle.
Never allow more than two riders; one driver and one passenger.
The riders should sit on the seat when the vehicle is in operation.

Teach Safety Rules to Children

While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive this vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgement 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 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.

Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the street or near moving (motorized) vehicles.
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).
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 in a well-lit area.
Teach your child to avoid driving on steep inclines or slopes. Restrict your child’s driving to areas that are fairly level with gentle inclines or slopes.
• While driving down a steep slope, the vehicle may gain unsafe speed, even if the foot pedal is released to stop.
• While driving across a steep slope, the vehicle may tilt and tip over. The wheels could lose traction, causing the vehicle to slip.
• While driving up a steep incline, the motor may stop and the vehicle could roll backwards at an unsafe speed.
Do not operate this vehicle with more than two riders; one driver and one passenger seated in the seating area. 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.
Always wear shoes or sneakers when operating this vehicle.
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.
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.
Do not allow a child to operate the vehicle without proper 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 connector and battery:

Open the hood to access the battery.
Unplug the motor harness connector from the battery.
Lower and fasten hood.

How to Operate Your Vehicle

Beginner Use – Low Speed Drive

As assembled, your vehicle is ready to roll in low speed (4 km/h – 2 1/2 mph, maximum). It has been pre-set so it will only operate in low speed. After your child has mastered the basic skills of driving and understands the rules for safe driving, it’s time to remove the high speed lock-out screw to allow the vehicle to operate in low or high speed. See the instructions on page 30 to remove the high speed lock-out screw.

Make sure the shifter is in the LOW SPEED ( ) position **1**.
Press down on the foot pedal **2**. The vehicle will drive forward at a maximum of 4 km/h – 21/2 mph **3**.
Help your child practice steering to learn how far and how quickly to turn the steering wheel when driving forward in low speed.

Tripped thermal fuse| Each Power Wheels® 12 volt battery has a built-in thermal fuse
A thermal fuse may ‘trip’ and shut down operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe. The fuse will automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to resume normal operation.
To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 59 kg (130 Ib) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid driving up hills or running into fixed 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 Power Wheels® Customer Service.
Short run time (Less than 1 • 3 hours per charge)| Undercharged battery| Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the first time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the charger connector is plugged into the battery, and that the charger is plugged into the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is “ON”.
Overcharged battery| Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours. If you suspect that your battery is damaged as a result of overcharging, contact Power Wheels® Customer Service.
Battery is old and will not accept full charge| Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on vehicle use and use conditions. Replace the battery with a new Power Wheels® 12 volt rechargeable battery. For best performance, do not use substitute parts.

Driving conditions are too stressful| Use only on gentle inclines.
Vehicle runs in low speed, but does not run in high speed (Please Note: The vehicle is designed to operate in low speed only in reverse.| High speed lock- out not disconnected| The vehicle was pre-set to run only in low speed. To allow the vehicle to run in low and high speed, you must disconnect the High Speed Lock-Out. Follow the instructions on page 30 to remove the High Speed Lock-Out screw.
When the foot pedal is pressed only one rear wheel spins| Operation of vehicle in low speed| It 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.
