Owner’s Guide
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before you service the vehicle to prevent accidental
operation.
Wear eye protection when you service the vehicle. Be careful when you do
work around batteries, use solvents or compressed air.
To decrease the risk of electrical arc, which can cause a battery explosion, dis-
able all electrical loads from the battery before you remove the battery wires.
Use wrenches with insulation to decrease the risk of a short-circuit if a wrench falls across the bat-
tery terminals. A battery short-circuit can cause an explosion.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solution which can cause burns to the skin and eyes. Com-
pletely clean all electrolyte spills that contact the body and eyes with clear water. Contact a physi-
cian immediately.
Neutralize electrolyte spills with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda) mixed in 1 quart (1 liter) of water. Clean with water.
Be careful when you use the aerosol containers near battery terminals. Use a metal container that
has insulation to prevent an explosion.
The vehicle owner and service technician must carefully follow the procedures recommended in this manual. The pre-
ventative maintenance, applied at recommended intervals, keeps the vehicle dependable and decreases costs for
repairs. Refer to the Periodic Service Schedule for service and intervals. Refer to Lubrication Points for correct lubrica-
tion locations.
To decrease the risk of damage to the controller or motor, move the run/tow switch to the TOW position
before you tow the vehicle.
Before you disconnect or connect a battery or any other wires, move the run/tow switch to the TOW position.
After you connect a battery or any other wires, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before you move the switch to
the RUN position.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
To increase the life of a vehicle that is used in rough conditions, some maintenance must be done more often
than recommended in the Periodic Service Schedule. For example: high or low temperatures, high dust and
dirt conditions, high use with maximum load.
To access the powertrain for normal maintenance, lift or remove the seat and remove the rear access panel. For major
repairs, refer to the applicable Technician’s Repair and Service Manual.
Some service procedures make it necessary to lift the vehicle. Refer to LIFTING THE VEHICLE for correct lift procedure
and safety information.
TIRE INSPECTION
Inspect the tire condition according to the Periodic Service Schedule. Tire inflation pressures must be checked when the
tires are cool. Always install the valve dust cap after you check or inflate the tires.
