Problems and Solutions Guide

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

 

 

 

Vehicle runs sluggishly

Undercharged battery

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 charger connector is

 

 

plugged into the battery, and that the charger is plugged

 

 

into the wall.

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is “ON”.

After approximately 3 hours of constant use, the battery

 

 

needs charging.

Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last forever. Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on the vehicle use and use conditions. Replace the battery with a new Power Wheels® 12 volt rechargable battery. For best performance, do not use substitute parts.

 

 

Vehicle is overloaded

Make sure you do not overload the vehicle by allowing

 

 

 

 

more than one rider at one time, by exceeding the 65 lb.

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
