1. The 2 left bars alternately blink until you charge the
batteries.
If you continue to use the machine with only 2 bars
remaining, bars 1 and 2 alternately flash.
Important:
When only the second bar from the
left remains on the battery-discharge indicator,
the machine may enter a reduced-speed mode;
this mode aids in protecting the batteries, but
prolonged operation in this mode can damage
the batteries and/or the machine. Avoid draining
your batteries down to the second bar from the
left to prevent this issue. Charge the batteries
immediately.
If the batteries become fully discharged, the
machine shuts down.
Do not allow the batteries to
become fully discharged.
Important:
To obtain maximum battery life,
always charge the batteries before the charge
reaches the second bar from the left on the
screen. Regularly depleting the batteries to lower
than the second bar from the left reduces the life
of the batteries.
Stopping the Machine
Important:
When stopping the machine on
an incline, use the service brakes to stop the
machine and engage the parking brake to hold the
machine in place. Using the accelerator to stall
the machine on the hill can overheat the motor or
drain the batteries.
1. Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
2. Slowly press the brake pedal to apply the service
brakes until the machine comes to a complete
stop.
Note:
The stopping distance may vary
depending on the machine load and speed.
Parking the Machine
1. Stop the machine using the service brakes by
pressing and holding the brake pedal.
2. Engage the parking brake by pulling the
parking-brake lever toward you.
3. Rotate the key counterclockwise to the O
FF
position.
4. Remove the key.
Breaking in a New Machine
Service Interval: After the first 100 hours—Perform
the breaking in a new machine
guidelines.
Perform the breaking in a new machine guidelines
to provide proper performance and long life for the
machine.
•
Check the brake fluid and the water level in the
batteries regularly.
•
Avoid hard braking situations for the first several
hours of new machine break-in operation. New
brake linings may not be at optimum performance
until several hours of use has caused the brakes
to become burnished (broken-in).
•
Refer to Maintenance (page 27) for any special
low hour checks.
•
Check the front suspension positioning and adjust
it if necessary.
