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 50 lbs (23 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 .

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.

Use the charger in dry locations only.
