Before charging the battery, examine the battery case for
cracks or other damage which may allow sulfuric acid
(electrolyte) to leak during the charging process. Never
attempt to charge a damaged battery. If damage is detect-
ed, do not charge the battery or use it in your vehicle.
Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe dam-
age to surfaces it contacts. Take precautions to protect any
surface on which you charge the battery.

You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to
recharge it.
If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do
not leave it in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery

About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels
®
6 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 con-
ditions too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, it will automat-
ically 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 lb. 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 direction.
If a thermal fuse in the battery continually trips under nor-
mal driving conditions, please contact your local Power
Wheels
