Important Notes
• 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.
• 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 a kitchen
counter top)
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
®
6 volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) charger (input
120 VAC 60 Hz) with an output of 6 VDC to charge your
Power Wheels
®
6 volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) battery.
• Adults Note: Regularly examine the charger for damage to the
cord, plug, housing or other parts that may result in the risk of
fire, electric shock or injury. In the event of any damage, do not
use the charger until the damage has been properly repaired.
Please call 1-800-348-0751.
• 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
®
6 volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) 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”, release the
button on the handlebar and wait approximately 25 seconds
before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic
shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 40 lbs
(18 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.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal
driving conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels
®
Authorized Service Center. For the location of the Authorized
Service Center nearest to you, visit us on-line at
