SOLUTION
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 plugged
into the battery, and that the charger is plugged into the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is "ON".
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 Power Wheels
Consumer Relations.
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 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To
avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle
by exceeding the 59 kg (130 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 Power Wheels
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.
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, contact Power Wheels
Consumer Relations.
The electrical switches can become corroded due to exposure to
water or moisture, or can jam due to loose dirt, sand or gravel.
