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 wires and 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".
Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours. If you suspect that
your battery is damaged as a result of overcharging, contact Consumer
Relations.. They can test your battery for you.
Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last forever.
Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on vehicle use and use
conditions. Replace the battery with a new Power Wheels
rechargeable battery. Do not substitute parts.
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 approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again.
To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle
by exceeding the 29,5 kg (65 lbs) 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 Consumer Relations.
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,

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.

Be sure to charge the battery after each use.
Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last forever.
Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on the vehicle use and
use conditions. Replace the battery with a new Power Wheels
rechargable battery. Do not substitute parts.
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing more than one
rider at one time, by exceeding the 65 lb. maximum weight capacity,
or by towing objects behind the vehicle.
Use only on generally level ground.
