Getting Started

To determine which type of vehicle you own, look at the underside of your vehicle and count the number of motors and gear boxes. (In most cases, the motors and gear boxes are located near the rear wheels.) Refer to the instructions in this booklet specific to your vehicle type.

1. 6 Volt (Standard) Vehicle - One Motor / One Gear Box 
   • Requires one Power Wheels 6 volt battery with built-in thermal fuse for operation. See page 4 for further instructions.
2. Super 6 Volt Vehicle - Two Motors / Two Gear Boxes 
   • Requires one Power Wheels 6 volt battery with built-in thermal fuse for operation. See page 5 for further instructions.
3. 12 Volt Vehicle - Two Motors / Two Gear Boxes 

   • Requires two Power Wheels 6 volt batteries with built-in thermal fuses for operation. See page 5 for further instructions.

     

Note: We recommend replacing batteries in a 12 Volt vehicle as a set. Use of an old battery with a new battery can shorten battery life and decrease vehicle run time.

6 Volt (Standard) Vehicles Only

Your new Power Wheels battery has a built-in, self-resetting thermal fuse and an A-style connector. The A-style connector on this battery is not immediately compatible with the H-style connectors on your vehicle's motor harness and charger. To join the A-style connector on the battery to the H-style connectors on your vehicle or its charger, you must use the H-STYLE WIRE HARNESS CONVERTER (included).

The H-Style Wire Harness Converter has an A-style connector (black) at one end, and an H-style connector (white) at the other. See "Charging the Battery" on pages 9, 10, 11, 14, and 15 for detailed instructions for using the H-Style Wire Harness Converter to charge your battery and for operation of your 6 Volt (Standard) vehicle.

Charging the Battery

WARNING PREVENT FIRE!

• Never alter this vehicle or its electrical system in any way. Alterations could cause a fire resulting in injury and could also ruin the electrical system.
• Use of the wrong type battery or charger could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in serious injury.
• The battery must be handled by adults only. The battery is heavy and contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Dropping the battery could result in serious injury.
• Never lift or carry the battery by the wires or connector. This can damage the battery and possibly cause a fire resulting in injury. Lift and carry the battery by the case only.
• Never allow children to charge the battery. Battery charging must be done by adults only. A child could be injured by the electricity involved in charging the battery.
• Examine the battery, charger, and their connectors for excessive wear or damage each time you charge the battery. If damage or excessive wear is detected, do not use the vehicle until you have replaced the worn or damaged part as it could possibly cause a fire resulting in injury.

About Thermal Fuses

This Power Wheels® battery is equipped with a built-in, self-resetting thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a safety device which automatically "trips" and shuts down the operation of the vehicle if the vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions are too severe. Once a fuse has "tripped," it will automatically reset itself after approximately 25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume normal operation. To avoid repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the maximum weight capacity as listed in your Owner's Manual or by towing anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such as driving up very steep hills or running into fixed objects, which can cause the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to the motors. If a new thermal fuse continually trips, please contact your local Power Wheels® Authorized Service Center. For the location of the Authorized Service Center nearest to you, please consult the listing in your vehicle Owner's Manual or call 1-800-348-0751.

To Charge

• Before charging a 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 vehicle. Battery acid is very corrosive and can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts.
• Do not charge the battery on a surface which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you charge the battery.
• Use only the Power Wheels® charger that came with your vehicle, or a replacement Power Wheels® charger of the same specifications, to charge your Power Wheels® batteries.
• The battery must be upright while charging.

6 Volt (Standard) Vehicles

• Use the H-Style Wire Harness Connector (included) to bridge the connectors on your battery and charger. Plug the A-style connector on the wire harness converter into the A-style connector on the battery. Plug the H-style connector on the other end of the wire harness converter into the H-style connector on your charger. Make sure all connectors are completely joined.
• Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. Charge the battery for at least 18 hours, but not longer than 30 hours. Note: If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a switch, make sure the switch is ON.
• Once the battery is charged, disconnect the battery and charger connectors and unplug the charger from the wall outlet.
• Use the H-Style Wire Harness Converter to connect the battery to your vehicle's H-style motor harness connector, too. Leave the A-style connector on the wire harness converter plugged into the connector on the battery. Plug the H-style connector on the other end of the wire harness converter into your vehicle's motor harness connector. Consult your vehicle Owner's Manual for detailed battery installation, vehicle operation and use instructions.

Super 6 and 12 Volt Vehicles with Connector Covers
