STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH
A DISCHARGED BATTERY
Do not attempt to ‘jump start’ a vehicle using
another vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator. When
starting the engine, the starter/generator functions as a
starter and with the engine running, it functions as a
generator.
With the short running times associated with this kind of
vehicle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain
the battery charge level. The generator is not designed
to charge a discharged battery.
Since the engine stops when the accelerator is
released,
jump starting should not be attempted
.
If the vehicle is equipped with lights and/or accessories
that are used when the vehicle is not in motion, the
starter/generator may not be adequate to maintain bat-
tery charge. In this situation, the battery may require
charging with a 12V 10 amp max charger.
Observe all instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the charger.
SERVICING THE VEHICLE
To prevent severe injury or death, resulting
from improper servicing techniques, observe
the following Warnings:
Do not attempt any type of servicing oper-
ations before reading and understanding
all notes, cautions 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.
Wear eye protection when work-
ing on the vehicle. In particular,
use care when working around
batteries, or using solvents or
compressed air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an
electrical arc, which could result in a bat-
tery explosion, turn off all electrical loads
