Tripped thermal fuse

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. 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

 

 

 

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 your local Power Wheels®

 

 

 

authorized service center.

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
