ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Important Notes
• Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours before
you use it in your vehicle for the first time.
• We recommend that you start charging your battery before
beginning assembly of your new vehicle.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
• You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to
recharge it.
• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case for cracks
and other damage which may cause sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to
leak during the charging process. If damage is detected, do not
charge the battery or use it in your vehicle. Battery acid is very
corrosive and can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.
• Do not charge the battery on a surface (such as a kitchen counter
top) which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the
battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you
charge your battery.
• Use only a Power Wheels
®
6 volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) charger with
an input of 120VAC, 60Hz, 6W and an output of 6VDC,
400 mA to charge your Power Wheels
®
rechargeable 6 volt
(4.0 Amp/Hr.) battery.
Adults Note: Regularly examine the charger for damage to the
cord, plug, housing or other parts that may result in the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury. In the event of any damage, do not use
the charger until the damage has been properly repaired. Please
call 1-800-348-0751.
• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it
in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from the vehicle.
About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels
®
6 Volt (4.0 Amp/Hr.) 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 finger from the button and wait
approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To
avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle
by exceeding the 40 lb. (18 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 and make sure your child stops the vehicle before
switching direction.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving
conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels
