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 automati-
cally “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 shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the
50 lbs (23 kg.) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind
the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up 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 independently owned and
operated Power Wheels

IMPORTANT!
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.
• 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.
• Once installed, you do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle
to recharge it.
• 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
®
Type H 6 volt charger (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 12W
with an output of 6 VDC 4.8W 800mA) to charge your Power Wheels
®
Type H 6 volt battery.
