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 kitchen counter
tops) 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 ® 12 volt charger with type "12V" connector
(120 VAC, 60 Hz, 28W with an output of 12 VDC, 1200mA) to charge
your Power Wheels ® 12 volt battery.
• 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 12 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”, it will automatically reset itself after approximately
25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal operations. To
avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by
exceeding the 65 lbs (29.5 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
and make sure your child stops the vehicle before switching speeds
or direction.
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 www.powerwheels.com, or call
1-800-348-0751.
• Battery can fall out and injure a child if
vehicle tips over. Always use battery clamp.
• PREVENT FIRE
- Never modify the electrical system.
Alterations could cause a fire resulting
in serious injury and could also ruin the
electrical system.
- Use of the wrong type battery or charger
could cause a fire or explosion resulting in
serious injury.
- Use of Power Wheels ® components in
products other than Power Wheels ®
vehicles could cause overheating, fire
or explosion.
• The battery must be handled by adults only.
The battery is heavy and contains sulfuric
acid (electrolyte). Dropping the battery
could result in serious injury.
• Never allow children to charge the battery.
Battery charging must be done by adults
only. A child could be injured by the elec-
tricity involved in charging the battery.
• Read the safety instructions on the battery.
• Examine the battery, charger and their
connectors for excessive wear or damage
each time you charge the battery. If
damage or excessive wear is detected, do
not use the charger or the battery until you
have replaced the worn or damaged part.
WARNING
