SERVICING THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE
To prevent severe injury
or death, resulting from
improper servicing tech-
niques, observe the following Warnings:
Do not attempt any type of servicing operations
before reading and understanding all notes, cau-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be made
to the powertrain while the motor is running must
be made with the entire vehicle raised.
Wear eye protection when working on
the vehicle. In particular, use care
when working around batteries, or
using solvents or compressed air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an electrical
arc, which could result in a battery explosion, turn
off all electrical loads from the batteries before
removing any heavy gauge battery wires.
To prevent the possibility of motor disintegration,
never operate vehicle at full throttle for more than
4 - 5 seconds while vehicle is in a “no load” condi-
tion.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands
after handling.
It is in the best interest of both vehicle owner and servic-
ing dealer to carefully follow the procedures recom-
mended in this manual. Adequate preventative
maintenance, applied at regular intervals, is the best
guarantee for keeping the vehicle both dependable and
economical.

Chocks ........................................................................ 4

Some servicing operations may require the vehicle be
raised.
To prevent possible inju-
r y o r d e a t h r e s u l t i n g
from a vehicle falling
from a jack, be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level
surface. Never get under a vehicle while it is support-
ed by a jack. Use jack stands and test the stability of
the vehicle on the stands. Always place chocks in
front and behind the wheels not being raised. Use
extreme care since the vehicle is extremely unstable
during the lifting process.
Never attempt to raise the rear wheels of a three
wheel vehicle without first raising the front of the
vehicle and supporting on jack stands.
When lifting vehicle, position jacks and
jack stands only on the areas indicated.
Due to the low ground clearance and short wheel base,
the vehicle should only be raised enough to remove the
front axle or the rear wheels. Servicing that requires
access to the underside of the vehicle should be accom-
plished by raising the front of the vehicle with a chain
hoist attached to the front frame members. Always use
an additional safety chain to prevent injury should the
hoist malfunction.
To remove a wheel or the front axle, loosen the hard-
ware. Position a jack in the location indicated and care-
fully raise the front of the vehicle. Position the jack stands
as shown. Use care not to place the jack or stands where
they could interfere with wiring or linkages. Slowly lower
the jack and test the stability of the vehicle.
To raise the rear of the vehicle, first raise the front of the
vehicle as previously described and support on jack
stands. Then position the jack in the position shown at
the rear of the vehicle. Carefully raise the rear of the
vehicle with the jack and place two jack stands in the
position shown. Slowly lower the jack and check that the
vehicle is securely supported by the jack stands before
proceeding.
Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.
