Brake Pedal
The brake pedal is the larger foot pedal located to the left of the accelerator pedal. The brake pedal
engages all four of the E-Merge wheels for shorter stopping distances. To slow the vehicle down, the
operator should depress the brake pedal.
Accelerator Pedal
The accelerator pedal is the smaller pedal to the right of the brake pedal. When depressed:
•
The accelerator pedal will engage the drive motor in the direction the FWD/REV switch is set.
•
The vehicle will accelerate up to its top speed of just under 25 mph at which time power will be
reduced to the motor.
•
If the vehicle speed begins to exceed 25 mph, automatic motor braking will occur.
•
When the reverse position is selected, the vehicle ’s top speed is reduced.
•
Smooth, slow acceleration will substantially increase the vehicle ’s range.
Battery Discharge Meter
The E-Merge is equipped with a Battery Discharge Meter. It functions similarly to a fuel gage in an automobile.
The Battery Discharge Meter is an indicator of the remaining power in the battery pack.
The Battery Discharge Metter had 10 indicator lights:
•
When the light bar is at the top of indicator, the battery pack contains a full charge.
•
When the vehicle is at 70% discharge, the two remaining lights will flicker as a warning.
•
When the vehicle is at 80% discharge, reduced performance will occur indicating the immediate need to
recharge the batteries. Continued operation beyond this discharge state will result in reduced battery life
and possible damage to the batteries.
