at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the charger
connector is plugged into the battery, and that the charger

forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on
vehicle use and use conditions. Replace the battery with

Tripped thermal fuse The built-in 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,"
remove your foot from the pedal and wait approximately
25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid
repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle
by exceeding the 65 lbs (29,5 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
®
authorized service center.
