PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
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 fi rst time. After
fi rst-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 charger connector is plugged
into the battery, and that the charger is plugged into the wall.
Make sure power fl ow 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 65 lbs (29.5 kg) maximum
weight capacity or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Do not
drive up hills or run into fi 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.
Loose wire or loose connectors Check all wires and connectors. Make sure the motor harness
connector is plugged into the battery, 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
