PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE
IMPORTANT! If you experience a problem with your vehicle, first check the Problems and Solutions Guide below. If you still experience a problem, please contact Power Wheels® Consumer Relations,
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 | The |
|
| operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded |
|
| or the driving conditions too severe. Once a fuse has |
|
| "tripped", release the drive button 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 |
|
| exposure to water or moisture, or can jam due to loose |
|
| dirt, sand or gravel. Contact your local Power Wheels® |
|
| authorized service center for diagnosis and repair. |
| Motor damage | Contact your local Power Wheels® authorized service |
