Controls and Indicators
CAUTION
• When the light indicates a low state of charge, the vehicle should be placed on charge as soon as
possible.
Charging Confirmation
• The light will flash three times and the reverse buzzer simultaneously will sound three times to indicate a battery
charging session has begun.
LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT
Gasoline Vehicles Only
The gasoline vehicle is equipped with a low oil warning light, located on the dash panel to the right of the key switch. If
the warning light comes on, oil should be checked and added to the engine as necessary before continuing to use the
vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven with the low oil warning light remaining on. If the warning light goes on and
off, you may proceed, but oil should be added at the first opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning light
stays on, have a trained technician check the vehicle.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent
engine damage.
FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER
Gasoline Vehicles Only
The gasoline vehicle is equipped with a fuel gauge/hour meter (5), located on the instrument panel
(Figure 10)
. The
fuel gauge allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle. The hour meter should be used by the trained
technician to track vehicle usage and determine when periodic service procedures are required.
See Periodic
Service Schedule on page 37.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it
(Figure 12)
.
•
Electric and pedal-start vehicles:
When the key switch is in the ON position, and the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch is in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position, pressing the accelerator pedal will automatically release
the park brake and start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (forward or reverse). When the accelerator is
released, power will be cut off and the motor or engine will stop running.
Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles use a special electrical system, which employs motor braking in some modes of operation. In
those modes, the vehicle operates as follows:
•
Walk-Away Braking:
This feature prevents the vehicle from rolling away uncontrolled should the driver park on a
slope and leave the vehicle without locking the park brake. The vehicle will roll at about 1 to 3 mph (1.6 to 4.8 km/h).
If the walk away braking function remains engaged for two seconds or more, a warning buzzer will sound to alert the
driver that motor braking has been activated.
See following WARNING.
