Interlocks
Operator Presence:
A switch located under the
driver’s seat disables the power to the vehicle
when the driver leaves the seat. The driver must
be seated properly for the vehicle to operate.
Whenever the driver leaves the vehicle, the
driver should turn the key-switch “OFF”, place
the Direction Control switch in the center “OFF”
position.
Built in Charger (optional):
If equipped with a
built in charger, the charger interlock is designed
to disable the vehicle from being driven while the AC charger cord is plugged into a functioning
power source. This interlock is located inside the charger cabinet.
Battery Door:
Two switches located on the inner left and right side panels disables power to the
vehicle whenever the battery doors are removed or not properly installed.
DO NOT dismount the operator’s seat
while the vehicle is in motion. Getting
off of the seat will activate the Operator
Presence circuit, rapidly slowing the
vehicle. The abrupt slowing of the vehicle
may result in severe bodily injury.
WARNING
SmartView® Dash Display
The Smart View Display (SVD) functions as a Battery Status Indicator (BSI), Hour Meter (HM),
speed controller status monitor, and as an optional maintenance monitor feature. The operation of
each of these functions is described below.
BSI
A bar graph representing the current state of charge is located across the top of the display.
When the batteries are fully charged, all segments of the bar graph will be on. As the batteries
are used, segments will turn off in the order of right to left.
When the batteries are discharged to 75%, the last three segments will flash indicating that
you are approaching the end of the battery cycle. At this time, the vehicle’s batteries should be
charged as soon as possible.
At 90%, all segments will flash and the vehicle’s speed will be reduced. At this time, the vehicle
should be removed from service for charging. Discharging beyond 90% will result in damage to
the batteries that will shorten the battery life-span.
Note: The battery status gauge as well as any faults indicating low battery voltage will not reset
until the batteries have successfully completed a charging cycle.
