Storage – Electric Vehicle
WARNING
• The vehicle to be towed should be tied securely to the trailer, with the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch in the NEUTRAL position, the key switch the OFF position, and the park brake firmly pressed
and locked to prevent movement.
• Do not allow people in the trailer or vehicle being towed.
• Avoid sudden starts, sudden stops, and tight turns when towing.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when towing. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning could cause the vehicle to overturn,
possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
• When towing on a trailer, normal road speed of the tow vehicle should be reduced.
• Because of the added length of the trailer, use caution when making turns.
• Remove the vehicle windshield and secure the seat bottom before transporting on a trailer.
• Gasoline vehicles only: Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position (Figure 23).
If the vehicle must be transported over long distances or on public highways, it should be transported on an approved
trailer that has the approved load rating of 1200 lb (544 kg) per vehicle being transported.
NOTE: A two-car trailer should be rated at 2 x 1200 = 2400 lb (2 x 544 = 1088 kg).
STORAGE – ELECTRIC VEHICLE
See General Warnings on page 12.
WARNING
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse switch in
the NEUTRAL position during storage. Place Tow/Run switch in the TOW position. This is to prevent
unintentionally starting the vehicle or a fire hazard.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery. Frozen
batteries can explode.
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
• To avoid exposing electrical components to moisture and subsequent damages, do not use any type
of pressure washing or steam cleaning equipment to wash the vehicle.
PREPARING THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE
Check Battery Water Levels Two Weeks Prior to Storage
Check water levels at least two weeks prior to winter storage to ensure proper mixing of water and electrolyte. Note that
it takes approximately five charge cycles with a minimum of 10 amp hours removed after each charge to properly mix
the water with electrolyte. Do NOT water batteries immediately prior to storage because this will not provide sufficient
charge time to mix the water with the electrolyte. Freezing can occur when batteries are stored in this condition.
1. Check the water levels in each battery cell. If water is required, fill the cells to cover the plates, charge the
batteries, and then use distilled water to fill each cell to the correct level. Electrolyte level should be from 1/2 inch
(13 mm) above plates to 1/4 inch (6 mm) below the level indicator
(Figure 27) .
Immediately Prior to Storage, Perform the Following Steps
