PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS GUIDE

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 first-time use, recharge the battery for

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 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.

Loose wire or loose connectors

Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the battery

connector is tightly plugged into the motor harness 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.
