PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE
POSSIBLE
CAUSE
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
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 your local Power Wheels
authorized service center for diagnosis and repair.
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.
Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last forever. Average
