6 Volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) 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. Once a fuse has “tripped", release the pedal and wait
25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated
automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding
the 50 lb. (23 kg) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything
behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into xed 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 your local Power Wheels
