 12 volt battery is equipped 

with a built-in thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is 
a self-resetting safety device which automatically “trips” 
and shuts 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 shut-downs, 
avoid severe driving conditions.

If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under 

• 

normal driving conditions, please contact your local 
Power Wheels

®

 Authorized Service Center.

To prevent damaging the motors and gears, teach your 

• 

child to stop the vehicle before switching direction.
