OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Owner’s Guide
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.
B
BEFORE INITIAL USE
Read, understand and follow the safety label on the in-
strument panel. Be sure you understand how to operate
the vehicle, it’s equipment and how to use it safely.
Maintaining good performance depends to a large extent
on the operator.
Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of
the lead acid battery charging process. A 4%
concentration of hydrogen gas is explosive and
could cause severe injury or death. Charging
must take place in an area that is adequately
ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per
hour).
To reduce the chance of battery explosion that
could result in severe injury or death, never
smoke around or charge batteries in an area
that has open flame or electrical equipment
that could cause an electrical arc.
Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items
shown in the
INITIAL SERVICE CHART must be per-
formed (Ref. Fig. 4).
The vehicle battery must be fully charged before initial
use.
Check for correct tire inflation. See GENERAL SPECIFI-
CATIONS.
Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in
shipment from the factory.
Determine and record the braking distance required to
stop the vehicle for future brake performance tests.
Remove the protective clear plastic from the seat bottom
and back rest before placing the vehicle in service
.
