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.
