Short run time
(Less than 1 - 3 hours
per charge) Undercharged battery Charge the battery. A new battery should have been
charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for
the fi rst time. After fi rst-time use, recharge the battery for
at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery
longer than 30 hours.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the charger
connector is plugged into the battery, and that the charger
is plugged into the wall.

Overcharged battery Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours. If you
suspect that your battery is damaged as a result of
overcharging, contact your local Power Wheels
® authorized
service center. They can test your battery for you.
Battery is old and will not accept
full charge Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last
forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on
vehicle use and use conditions. Replace the battery with
a new Power Wheels
® 6 volt rechargeable battery. Do not
substitute parts.
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 fi 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.
