f) Battery Charging 

WARNING!

 Before charging the vehicle, please read any and all information 

provided with the charge unit. 

WARNING!

 Explosive hydrogen gas is produced while batteries are charging. Keep 

vehicle away from any open flames. Optimal ventilation for vehicle charging is in a 
building that can recycle the air 5 times per

 hour. 

WARNING!

 Before charging vehicle, make sure the AC outlet is capable of handling 

20amps of constant draw. Contact your local electrician for verification of load 
capacity. DO NOT charge more than one vehicle at a time on a single breaker. 
 
The key must be in the “off position to charge.  Plug AC cord into vehicle charge 
receptacle first, then plug into wall outlet. Let the charger run until it reaches full 
charge. Remove cord from wall outlet then remove cord from the vehicles charge 
receptacle. Charger unit is fully sealed.  Under no circumstances should you try to 
open the charger case. Failure of the charger unit MUST be repaired by an authorized 
dealer. Any tampering of the charger unit will void its warranty. 
 
 
 
MAINTENANCE of the SEP-EX MOTOR: 
 
Periodic Inspection of the motor will ensure a long life. Before doing any work on or 
around motor, Tow/Run switch should be placed in the Tow position. Keep motor 
clean from dust, dirt, and any fine debris that collect on/around it. Low pressure air 
(20-30psi) works best for cleaning. Every 3-4 months use low pressure air to blow 
any dust and carbon from brush area at the end of the motor. The brushes are located 
under a metal ring that wraps the circumference of the motor at the end furthest from 
the mounting point to the transaxle. After blowing any debris from motor, check the 4 
motor cables for correct torque. Any other service required for sep-ex motor must be 
performed by certified technician.
