OPERATING PROCEDURES

Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.

Looping the DC cord through the steering wheel when charging serves as a good reminder to store the cord out of the way when

finished with charging. The DC plug can be damaged by driving over or catching the cord on the vehicle when driving away.

An ungrounded electrical device may become a physical hazard that could result in an electrical

shock or electrocution.

Using the Charger

The charger may remain plugged into the AC outlet when not in use. To charge the vehicle refer to the instruction

labels on the charger. Insert the polarized DC plug completely into the vehicle receptacle. The charger will automati-

cally start a few seconds after the plug is in place. The charger will automatically stop when the batteries are fully

charged and the DC plug can be removed to permit use of the vehicle.

Understanding the Charger

Plugging the charger into the vehicle’s charger receptacle will lock the vehicle out of operation. When the charger is

plugged into the vehicle’s charger receptacle, the charger will automatically turn on and the charger’s LED and the

vehicle receptacle’s LED will start flashing GREEN to indicate the batteries are charging.
Once a minimum battery voltage of 2 volts per cell (Vpc) is reached, the charger’s output current will change from a

full current charge to the trickle rated charging current. The length of charge time will vary by how depleted the bat-

teries are, the input AC voltage, and/or charger ambient temperatures. The charger’s LED will give a SHORT flash if
