Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Fig. 27 48V (2 Passenger) Battery Connections
Prolonged Storage
Battery charger, controller and other electronic devices
need to be disconnected since they will contribute to the
premature discharge of batteries.
The ’RUN-TOW/MAINTENANCE/STORAGE’ switch, located
under the passenger seat is set to ‘TOW/MAINTENANCE/
STORAGE’ position for long term storage of the vehicle to
avoid draining of the batteries.
During periods of storage, the batteries will need atten-
tion to keep them maintained and prevent discharge
In high temperatures the chemical reaction is faster,
while low temperatures cause the chemical reaction to
slow down. A vehicle that is stored at 90° F (32° C) will
lose .002 of specific gravity each day. If a fully charged
battery has a specific gravity of 1.275, and the battery is
allowed to sit unused, it will become partially discharged.
When it reaches 1.240, which it will do in less than
twenty days, it should be recharged. If a battery is left in
a discharged state, sulfating takes place on and within
the plates. This condition is not reversible and will cause
permanent damage to the battery. In order to prevent
damage, the battery should be recharged. A hydrometer
can be used to determine the specific gravity and there-
fore the state of charge of a battery.
Fig. 28 Freezing Point of Electrolyte
In winter conditions, the battery must be fully charged to
prevent the possibility of freezing (Ref Fig. 28 on page
23). A fully charged battery will not freeze in tempera-
tures above -75° F (-60° C). Although the chemical reac-
tion is slowed in cold temperatures, the battery must be
stored fully charged, and disconnected from any circuit
that could discharge the battery. For PDS vehicles, the
controller should be disconnected from the batteries by
setting the Run-Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch,
located below the rear of the load bed on the rear of the
controller enclosure, to the ‘TOW/MAINTENANCE/
STORAGE’ position. Disconnect the charging harness
from the batteries. The batteries must be cleaned and all
deposits neutralized and removed from the battery case
to prevent self discharge. The batteries should be tested
or recharged at thirty day minimum intervals.
Battery Charging
The

battery charger is designed to fully charge the bat-
tery set. If the batteries are severely deep cycled, some
automatic battery chargers contain an electronic module
that may not activate and the battery charger will not
function. Automatic chargers will determine the correct
duration of charge to the battery set and will shut off
