SOLUTION
Charge the battery. A new battery should have been 1 - 3 hours per charge) 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 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 battery longer than 30 hours. If you suspect that your battery is
damaged as a result of overcharging, contact Consumer Relations. They can test
the 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 only with
®
a Power Wheels 12 Volt battery with built-in thermal fuse. 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 25 seconds before opperating the vehicle
again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by
exceeding the 59 kg (130 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.
The vehicle was pre-set to run only in low speed. To allow the vehicle to run in
low and high speed, you must disconnect the High Speed Lock-Out. Follow the
instructions in the Vehicle Operation section to remove the High Speed
Lock-Out screw.
It is possible that only one rear wheel may spin when both rear wheels are raised
off the ground and the vehicle is in low speed. This does not necessarily indicate
a problem. Check for proper operation of the drive system by raising the rear
wheels off the ground and pressing the foot pedal. If only one rear wheel spins,
carefully press your hand on the spinning wheel to slow it down. The other rear
wheel should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel does not begin to spin, there
may be a problem with the vehicle. 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, 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 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".
Be sure to charge the battery after each use.
