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
cle on hill by using accelerator and engine. Leaving drive
train in a stalled condition for more than 3 - 4 seconds will
cause permanent damage to drive train components.
To start the electric vehicle on a hill: Place left foot on the
service brake. Place the key in the key switch, and turn
the key to the ‘ON’ position. Move the direction selector
to the direction desired. Place right foot on accelerator.
Release park brake by applying the accelerator pedal to
start the engine. Release the service brake as the vehicle
starts to move.
Starting a Vehicle with a Discharged Battery
Do not attempt to ‘jump
start’ a vehicle using
another vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator. When
starting the engine, the starter/generator functions as a
starter and with the engine running, it functions as a gen-
erator.
With the short running times associated with this kind of
vehicle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain
the battery charge level. The generator is not designed to
charge a discharged battery.
Since the engine stops when the accelerator is released,
jump starting should not be attempted.
If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be
charged using a 12V charger that is rated at 10 amps or
less.
Observe all instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the charger.
COASTING
T o p r e v e n t i n j u r y o r
d e a t h r e s u l t i n g f r o m
coasting at above recom-
mended speeds, limit speed with service brake.
On steep hills, it is possible for vehicles to coast at faster
than normal speeds that may be encountered on a flat
surface. To prevent loss of vehicle control, speeds should
be limited to no more than the maximum speed on level
ground (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS). Limit speed
by releasing the accelerator and applying service brake.
Severe damage to the drive train components due to
excessive speed may result from driving the vehicle
above specified speed. Damage caused by excessive
speed may cause a loss of control, is costly, is consid-
ered abuse and will not be covered under warranty.
FUEL
The fuel tank is located under the rear, forward facing
seat on the passenger side of the vehicle (Ref. Fig. 9 on
page 6). Fill the tank with fresh, clean, automotive grade,
unleaded, 87 octane (minimum) gasoline. High altitude or
heavy use/load applications may benefit from higher
octane gasoline.
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Allow ade-
quate space for the expansion of gaso-
line. Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space below bottom of filler neck.
To prevent a possible
explosion, do not smoke
near the fuel tank or refu-
el near open flame or electrical items which could
produce a spark.
Always wear safety glasses while refueling to prevent
possible eye injury from gasoline or gasoline vapor.
When refueling, inspect the fuel cap for leaks or
breaks that could result in fuel spillage.
Do not handle fuel in an area that is not adequately
ventilated. Do not permit anyone to smoke in an area
where vehicles are being fueled.
Fuel Gauge, Low Fuel and Low Oil Pressure
Indicator Lights
The electric fuel gauge (if equipped) is located to the
right side of the key/light switch and indicates the amount
of fuel in the tank (Ref. Fig. 3 on page 2).
A dash mounted low fuel warning light (if equipped) will
illuminate when the fuel level in the tank is low and the
vehicle should be refueled.
