TRANSPORTING VEHICLE
TOWING
This vehicle is not designed
to be towed.
It is recommended that the vehicle be moved by placing
the entire vehicle on a trailer, flatbed truck or other suit-
able transport.
HAULING
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death
while transporting vehi-
cle:
Secure the vehicle and contents.
Never ride on vehicle being transported.
Always remove windshield before transporting.
Maximum speed with sun top installed is 50 mph
(80 kph).
If the vehicle is to be transported at highway speeds, the
sun top must be removed and the seat bottom secured.
When transporting vehicle below highway speeds, check
for tightness of hardware and cracks in sun top at mount-
ing points. Always remove windshield when transporting.
Always check that the vehicle and contents are ade-
quately secured before transporting. The rated capacity
of the trailer or truck must exceed the weight of the vehi-
cle (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle
weight) and load plus 1000 lbs. (454 kg). Lock the park
brake and secure the vehicle using ratchet tie downs.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death
from improper servicing
techniques:
Do not attempt any type of servicing operations
before reading and understanding all notes, cau-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be made
to the powertrain while the motor is running must
be made with both drive wheels raised and vehi-
cle properly supported on jack stands.
To reduce the possibility of motor damage, never
operate vehicle at full throttle for more than 4 - 5
seconds while vehicle is in a ‘no load’ condition.
Wear eye protection when working on
the vehicle. Use extra care when work-
ing around batteries, or using sol-
vents or compressed air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an electrical
arc, which could result in a battery explosion, turn
off all electrical loads from the battery before
removing battery wires.
Wrap wrenches with vinyl
tape to reduce the possibility
of a dropped wrench ‘short-
ing out’ a battery, which could result in an explo-
sion.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solution
which can cause severe burns to the skin and
eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to the body and
eyes with extended flushing with clear water.
