Vehicle does not run Undercharged batteries 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”.
Charger is not working There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless
you have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with
your charger, contact Power Wheels

Tripped thermal fuse Each Power Wheels
®
6 volt battery has a built-in thermal fuse.
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 approximately
25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to resume normal operation.
To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the
vehicle by exceeding the 30 kg. (65 lb) maximum weight capac-
ity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe dri-
ving 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.
Loose wire or loose connectors Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery
connector is tightly plugged into the motor harness connector,
and that there are no loose wires around the motors.
