Repair and Service Manual
To obtain a copy of the limited warranty applicable to the vehicle, call or write a local
distributor, authorized Branch or the Warranty Department with vehicle serial number and
manufacturer code.
The use of non Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved parts may void the
warranty.
Overfilling battery may void the warranty.
BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE
All batteries will self discharge over time. The rate of self discharge varies depending on the
ambient temperature and the age and condition of the batteries.
A fully charged battery will not freeze in winter temperatures unless the temperature falls
below -75 F (-60 C).
For winter storage, the batteries must be clean, fully charged and disconnected from any
source of electrical drain. The battery charger and the controller are both sources of
electrical drain. Unplug the battery charger DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
Disconnect the controller from the battery set by selecting the ‘TOW/MAINTENANCE’
position on the RUN-TOW/MAINTENANCE SWITCH located under the passenger seat.
As with all electric vehicles, the batteries must be checked and recharged as required or at a
minimum of 30 day intervals.
Refer to the ‘Prolonged Storage’ section within the BATTERIES AND CHARGING section of
this manual.
