It is normal for some chargers to get
warm during use and is not reason for
concern. Some chargers do not get
warm during use.
It is normal for some batteries to make
noise and swell slightly while charging
and is not reason for concern. Some
batteries do not make noise or swell
while charging.
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".
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 vehicle
use and use conditions. Replace only with a Power Wheels
6 Volt battery with a built-in thermal fuse. Do not substitute parts.
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing more than
one rider at one time, by exceeding the 29,5 kg maximum weight
capacity, or by towing objects behind the vehicle.
Use only on generally level ground.
Check all wires around the motors and all connectors to make
sure they are tight.
