PROBLEM | POSSIBLE CAUSE |
| SOLUTION |
Vehicle does not run | 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 |
|
|
| at least 14 hours after each use. Never charge the battery |
|
|
| longer than 30 hours. |
|
|
| Check all connectors. Make sure the battery connector |
|
|
| is tightly plugged into the charger connector, and that the |
|
|
| charger is plugged into the wall. |
|
|
| Make sure power flow to the wall outlet is “ON”. |
| Charger is not working |
| There is no sure way to tell if your charger is working unless |
|
|
| you have a volt meter. If you suspect there is a problem with |
|
|
| your charger, contact your local Power Wheels® authorized |
|
|
| service center. They can test your charger for you. |
| Tripped thermal fuse |

|
|
| of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving |
|
|
| conditions too severe. Once a fuse has "tripped", release the |
|
|
| button on the handlebar and wait approximately 25 seconds |
|
|
| before operating the vehicle again. To avoid repeated |
|
|
| automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by |
|
|
| exceeding the 40 lb 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. |
| Loose wires or loose connectors |
| Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery |
|
|
| connector is tightly plugged into the motor connector and |
|
|
| that there are no loose wires around the motors. |
| Dead battery |
| If your battery is old or if you have not followed Battery |
|
|
| Care instructions, your battery may be dead. If you are |
|
|
| unsure whether or not the battery is dead, you can have |
|
|
| it tested at your local Power Wheels® authorized |
|
|
| service center. |
| Electrical switch damage |
| The electrical switches can become corroded due to |
|
