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 65 lbs.
(30 kg) 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 speeds
or direction.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under
normal driving conditions, please contact your local
