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

®

Super 6 volt charger with an A-style

connector (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15W with an output of 6 VDC, 1200mA,
7.2W) to charge your Power Wheels

®

6 volt 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
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
