ELECTRICAL HAZARD
IMPORTANT!
• Your new battery must be charged for at least
18 hours before you use it in your scooter for the
first time. We recommend that you start charging your
battery before beginning assembly of your new scooter.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
• Before charging the battery, examine the battery case
for cracks and other damage which may cause sulfuric
acid (electrolyte) to leak during the charging process.
If damage is detected, do not charge the battery or
use it in your scooter. Battery acid is very corrosive and
can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.
• Do not charge the battery on a surface (such as kitchen
countertops) which could be damaged by the acid
contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect
the surface on which you charge your battery.
• Use only a Power Wheels
®
12 volt charger with type
“12V” connector (120 VAC 60 Hz 28W with an output of
12 VDC 1200mA) to charge your Power Wheels
®
rechargeable 12 volt battery.
• For best performance, use only a Power Wheels
®
12 volt
12 Ah battery (part number: 00801-1048). Please contact
your local Power Wheels
®
Authorized Service Center for
a replacement battery. To find the authorized service
center nearest you, see page 24 or call 1-800-348-0751.
• If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not
leave it in the scooter. Always remove a dead battery
from the scooter.
CAUTION
Use the charger in dry locations only.
About Thermal Fuses
Your Power Wheels
®
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 scooter if the scooter is overloaded or the
driving conditions too severe. Once a fuse has “tripped”,
it will automatically reset itself after approximately 25
seconds and allow the scooter to resume normal
operation. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns,
do not overload the scooter by exceeding the 150 lb.
maximum weight capacity or by towing anything behind
the scooter. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as
driving up steep slopes or running into fixed objects, which
can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still
being supplied to the motors.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under
normal driving conditions, please contact your local
Power Wheels
®
Authorized Service Center. For the
location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to
you, see page 24 or call 1-800-348-0751.
