(+45ºC/+113ºF).
The RZ1000 will operate in light rain showers, but extended use is not recommended in
heavy rain or snow.
The
RZ1000
is easy to operate. The relatively large wheels let the user drive on unpaved
roads, over moderately rough terrain and over obstacles as high as 4” (10 cm).

The
RZ1000
can climb slopes with angles and loads as detailed in Figure: Maximum
Recommended Incline Angles (Page 10).

throttle control lever is released.
The RZ1000 is equipped with both front and rear shock absorbers to give the user a
comfortable and smooth drive, even when using the vehicle on moderately rough roads.
The seat is spacious and comfortable, and can be rotated for easy access (standard
seats). It can be adjusted forward and backward, and up and down by a technician.
All controls are conveniently mounted on the tiller and are simple to operate.
Under normal conditions, the
RZ1000
can travel up to 30 km before the batteries require
recharging.

all the parts of the vehicle, to make sure that there is no visible damage. If you have any
questions or concerns, contact your dealer.
The RZ1000 was developed to use maintenance-free sealed batteries only.
