Tripped thermal fuse Each Power Wheels
®
6 volt battery has a built-in thermal fuse.
A 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 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To avoid
repeated automatic shutdowns, do not overload the vehicle by
exceeding the 65 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 your local Power Wheels
®
authorized service center.
