About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels® 12 volt battery is equipped with a
25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal operations. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 65 lbs.
(29.5 kg) maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up very steep slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors. Make sure your child stops the vehicle before switching speeds or direction.
Important Notes

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.
•You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to recharge it.
•The battery must be upright while charging.
