About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels® 12 volt battery is equipped with a built-in thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a self-resetting safety device which automatically “trips” and shuts down operation of the mini-bike if the mini-bike is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”, it will automatically reset itself after approx- imately 25 seconds and allow the mini-bike to resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the mini-bike by exceeding the 150 lb. maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind the mini-bike. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up steep slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors.

If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels® Authorized Service Center. For the location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you, see page 23 or call 1-800-348-0751.
