MEV™ Daytona™ OWNERS MANUAL

•
When stationary on a hill, use the footbrake or parking brake to hold position. Do not use the
accelerator pedal. Holding the accelerator pedal will reduce the life of the batteries and the
motor.
•
Parking
•
After stopping the electric cart, engage the parking brake by pushing park brake.
•
Turn the key switch OFF, remove the key, and place the drive switch in the middle position
(‘P’).
Towing
•
Do not tow behind an automobile or truck on any public roads. To tow the cart on public
roads, use a trailer with a minimum load rating of 2,000 lbs.
•
To tow the cart, turn the ignition switch to the off position and place the drive stick into park
position.
•
Use extreme caution while turning.
•
Do not allow persons in the cart while being towed.
•
Avoid stopping on a hill when towing and do not allow to roll backwards as this may cause
the cart to overturn.
Storage
•
Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery.
Frozen batteries can explode.
•
Batteries in a low state of charge are more likely to freeze. Charge batteries fully before
storing the cart.
1. Turn the ignition key OFF, place the drive stick switch in Park (‘P’), and chock the wheels to
prevent any rolling. Apply the parking brake.
2. Fully charge the batteries. If possible, keep the battery charger connected so that the batteries
will not discharge. A computer on the charger will automatically monitor and charge the
batteries. If a reliable AC power supply is not available, disconnect the charger from the AC
supply and disconnect the batteries.
3. Dirty battery tops can conduct small amounts of electricity and hasten the discharging of the
batteries. Clean battery tops and terminals with a solution of water and baking soda (1 gallon /
3.78 litres of water for 1 cup of baking soda). Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries.
4. Inspect and clean battery wires. Damage or frayed wires should be replaced by a qualified
technician.
5. Store the cart in a cool, dry location.
