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 vehicle:
Secure the vehicle and contents.
Never ride on vehicle being transported.
Always remove windshield before transport-
ing.
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 opera-
tions before reading and understanding all
notes, cautions and warnings in this manu-
al.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be
made to the powertrain while the motor is
running must be made with both drive
wheels raised and vehicle properly support-
ed 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 work-
ing on the vehicle. Use extra care
when working around batteries,
or using solvents or compressed
air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an elec-
trical 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 possi-
bility of a dropped wrench
‘shorting out’ a battery, which could result in
an explosion.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solu-
tion 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. Contact a physician imme-
diately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized
with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodi-
um bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1
quart (1 liters) of water and flushed with
water.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal pro-
tectant must be used with extreme care.
Insulate metal container to reduce the pos-
sibility of can contacting battery terminals
which could result in an explosion.
It is in the best interest of both vehicle owner and service
technician, to carefully follow the procedures recom-
mended in this manual. Preventative maintenance,
