		and that there are no loose wires around the motors.
	Tripped thermal fuse	Each Power Wheels® 12 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. The fuse will automatically reset itself
		after approximately 25 seconds, allowing the vehicle to
		resume normal operation. 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 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®

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 only with Power Wheels® 12 volt battery with built-in thermal fuse.
