• This vehicle uses two Power Wheels ® Type H 6 volt-
9.5 Amp/Hr lead batteries with Power Wheels ® 30
amp fuses and a Power Wheels ® Type H 12 volt
charger (120 VAC 60 HZ 28W with an output of 12

at least 18 hours. Never charge the 6 volt batteries
longer than 30 hours.
• After the first charge, charge the 6 volt batteries a
minimum of 14 hours after each use. Never charge
the 6 volt batteries longer than 30 hours.
• Do not run down the 6 volt batteries completely
before charging.
• Leaving the 6 volt batteries in a discharged condi-
tion will ruin them.

even if the vehicle has not been used.
• Do not store the 6 volt batteries in temperatures
above 75˚ F or below -10˚ F.

Disposal instructions on page 30 for detailed infor-
mation about battery care.

• When you purchase replacement Power Wheels ®
Type H 6 volt batteries, you should buy them as a
set. Using an older 6 volt battery with a new 6 volt
battery may result in poor performance and may
cause permanent damage to both 6 volt batteries.
Remember to charge new 6 volt batteries for at
least 18 hours before first use.
• To purchase Power Wheels ® Type H 6 volt batteries,
Power Wheels ® 30 amp fuses or a Power Wheels ®
Type H 12 volt charger, please contact:
- the store where your vehicle was purchased.
- an Authorized Service Center (see Authorized
Service Center list beginning on page 40).
- Power Wheels ® Consumer Affairs at 1-800-348-0751.
• While the 6 volt batteries are charging, the charger
may become warm to the touch. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
• Monster BIGFOOT ® is suitable for use on grass,
asphalt or other hard surfaces. To prevent damage
to the motors and switches, do not operate the
vehicle on loose dirt, gravel or sand.
• To prevent damage to electrical components, store
Monster BIGFOOT ® inside or under a protective
cover during snowy or rainy weather. Do not leave
Monster BIGFOOT
® out in the rain or let your child
wash it with soap and water.
• Monster BIGFOOT ® has a special circuit-breaker
in the wiring to protect the motors and electrical
system. If the vehicle is put under extreme load
(driving on rough surfaces, too much weight,
climbing too steep of an incline), the circuit-breaker
will shut the electrical system down for up to
20 seconds. If the system repeatedly shuts down,
the driving conditions may be too demanding
(ie: too steep or too much weight).
• Metal parts have been coated with a lubricant to
protect them during shipment. Wipe all metal parts
with a paper towel to remove any excess lubricant.
