WARNING
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
BATTERY CHARGING
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 400 mA) 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 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”, remove your foot from the
pedal and wait approximately 25 seconds before operating the
vehicle again. 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.
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
