6 Volt (4.0 amp/hr.) battery with built-in

thermal fuse.

Do not substitute parts.

The built-in 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 approximately 25 seconds before operating

the vehicle again. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do

not overload the vehicle by exceeding the 50 lb (23 kg)

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.
