PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SOLUTION

Vehicle does not run

Undercharged battery

Charge the battery. A new battery should have been

charged for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for

the first time. After first-time use, recharge the battery for

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

longer than 30 hours.

Check all connectors. Make sure the charger connector is

tightly plugged into the battery, and that the charger is

plugged into the wall.

Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is “ON”.

Charger is not working

There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless

you have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with

your charger, contact your local Power Wheels

®

authorized

service center. They can test your charger for you.

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. The fuse will automatically reset

itself after approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle

to resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic

shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the

65 lb maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind

the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into fixed 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.

Loose wires or loose connectors

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor

harness connector is plugged into the battery and that there

are no loose wires around the motors.

Dead battery

If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery

Care instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are

unsure whether or not the battery is dead, you can have

it tested at your local Power Wheels

®

authorized

service center.

Electrical switch damage

The electrical switches can become corroded due to

exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt,

sand or gravel. Contact your local Power Wheels

®

authorized

service center for diagnosis and repair.
