PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Vehicle was running but

suddenly stopped

Loose wire or loose connectors Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor harness

connector is plugged into the battery connector, and that there

are no loose wires around the motors.

Tripped thermal fuse Each Power Wheels® 6 volt battery has a built-in thermal fuse.

A thermal fuse may "trip" and shut down operation of the vehicle

if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe.

Once a fuse has "tripped", remove your foot from the pedal and

wait 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid

repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by

exceeding the 65 lb. maximum weight capacity or by towing

anything behind the vehicle. Do not drive up hills or run into  xed

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.

Short run time (Less than

1 - 3 hours per charge)

Undercharged battery Charge the battery. A new battery should have been charged for

at least 18 hours before using the vehicle for the  rst time.

After  rst-time use, recharge the battery for at least 14 hours

after each use. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the charger connector

is plugged into the battery connector, and that the charger is

plugged into the wall.

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

Overcharged battery Do not charge the battery longer than 30 hours. If you suspect

that your battery is damaged as a result of overcharging, contact

your local Power Wheels® authorized service center. They can

test your battery for you.

Battery is old and will not accept

full charge

Even with proper care, a rechargeable battery does not last forever.

Average battery life is 1 to 3 years depending on vehicle use and

use conditions. Replace the battery with a new Power Wheels®

6 volt rechargeable battery. Do not substitute parts.
