SOLUTION
Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged
for at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the fi rst time.
After fi rst-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 fl ow 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
(4.0 Amp/Hr.) 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 23 kg (50 lbs) 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.
