accept full charge
Wrong type or improperly installed fuses
Tripped thermal fuse
Undercharged batteries
Batteries need charging
Wrong type or improperly installed fuses
Batteries are old and will not accept
full charge
Vehicle is overloaded
Driving conditions are too stressful
Solution
Charge the batteries. 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 batteries for
at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the
batteries longer than 30 hours.
Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery
connector is tightly plugged into the charger connector,
and that the charger is plugged into the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is "ON".
Do not charge the batteries longer than 30 hours. If you
suspect that your batteries are damaged as a result of
overcharging, contact Power Wheels
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. For best performance,
do not use substitute parts.
Make sure that each battery has a properly installed

thermal fuse before charging.

A thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down operation of the
vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too
severe. The fuse will automatically reset itself after approximate
ly 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to resume normal operation.
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. Avoid
severe driving conditions, such as driving up very steep hills 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 continually trips, contact Power Wheels
Customer Service.
Charge the batteries. 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 batteries for at
least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the batteries
longer than 30 hours.
Check all connectors. Make sure the battery connector is
tightly plugged into the charger connector, and that the
charger is plugged into the wall.
Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is "ON".
After approximately 3 hours of constant use, the batteries
need charging.
Make sure that each battery has a properly installed

thermal fuse before charging.
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. For best performance,
do not use substitute parts.
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing more
than 2 riders at one time, by exceeding the 59 kg. (130 lb.)
maximum weight capacity, or by towing objects behind the
vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, the fuses in the batteries
may "trip" and automatically shut down operation of the vehicle
for approximately 25 seconds. Reduce the load on the vehicle
to prevent repeated automatic shutdowns.
Use only on gentle inclines or slopes of 10˚ or less. If the
driving conditions are too stressful the fuses in the batteries
may "trip" and automatically shut down operation of the vehicle
for approximately 25 seconds. Adjust the driving conditions to
prevent repeated automatic shutdowns.
