Operating Instructions
Before Putting Your Vehicle in Service
• Check for leaking fluids (brake fluid, battery acid,
or transaxle oil).
• Check condition of tires for defects or damage.
If your vehicle is equipped with pneumatic tires,
make certain that they are properly inflated.
• Check to ensure that wheel lugs are tight.
• Check to ensure that battery cables are tight and
batteries are secure.
• Check the steering, brake, and electrical controls
for proper operation.
• Charge the batteries.
Vehicle Identification
Figure 2: The Vehicle Identification Plate is located on the
inside of the motor compartment. Please refer to this in-
formation when requesting warranty service, ordering re-
placement parts, or requesting service support from Wes-
ley International.
Charging Batteries
The Onboard High Frequency Charger is standard
on the Pack Mule NXG. To charge the vehicle’s bat-
teries, do the following:
• Position the vehicle in a well ventilated area with-
in six feet of the charging outlet.
• Connect the vehicle’s AC cord (Figure 3) to the
outlet.
• Confirm the charging status on the LED display
on the charger. (Figure 4)
If the vehicle has the optional Single-LED display,
located near the key switch, it will display a solid
green light when the batteries are fully charged.
Extension cords must be a 3-wire cord no longer
than 30m (100’) at 10AWG or 7.5m (25’) at 16 AWG
per UL guidelines. Connect only one charger to a
single 15A circuit or the circuit may become over-
loaded.

dicates when the battery is
completely charged. For a

sages, see page 17.
Vehicle Controls, Meters, Switches
All of the controls are located on the panel in front
of the operator. They are:
• The On/Off switch. The rocker switch (shown
below) is standard, but your vehicle may be
equipped with a key switch, a Safe-T-Lock key-
pad or Perma-Key switch. The Perma-Key switch
is similar to the standard key switch except that
once the key is inserted, it cannot be removed.
• The FWD/NEUTRAL/REV directional selector
switch.
• The Smart View Display (See page 6 for display
information.)
