IMPORTANT! If you experience a problem with your vehicle, please contact Power Wheels

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 Power Wheels

Consumer Relations.
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 con-
ditions 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 23 kg (50 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 Power Wheels

Consumer Relations.
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, contact
