• Plug the charger into a standard 120 volt wall outlet.
Note: If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a switch, make sure the switch is “ON”.
•Before first time use, charge the battery for at least 18 hours. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Note: The battery must be upright while charging.
•If you are charging the battery for the first time, insert a 25 amp fuse into the battery. The battery will not charge unless a 25 amp fuse in good condition is installed.
•If you are recharging your battery, make sure the 25 amp fuse already installed in the battery is in good condition. Use pliers to remove the fuse from the battery. Look at the fuse to make sure it has not blown. Replace a blown fuse with a new Power Wheels® 25 amp fuse.
