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 the 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 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 (such as kitchen
counter tops) 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
®
Super 6
Volt charger with an
A-style connector (120VAC 60 Hz 15W with an output of
6VDC 7.2W) to charge your 6 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
About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels
®
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 the fuse has “tripped”, it will
automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds
and allow the vehicle to resume normal operation. To avoid
repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle
by exceeding the 65 lb. (30 kg) maximum weight capacity
or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe
driving conditions, such as driving up very steep hills
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
between forward and reverse.
If the thermal fuse continually trips under normal driving
conditions, contact your local Power Wheels
®
Authorized
Service Center. Please refer to the Authorized Service
Center listing beginning on page 24 for the location of the
Authorized Service Center nearest to you.
CAUTION

battery could result in serious injury.
Never allow children to charge the
battery. Battery charging must be done
by adults only. A child could be injured
