OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION

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

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.

In winter conditions, the battery must be fully charged to

prevent the possibility of freezing (Ref Fig. 25 on page

22). 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 switch, located under

the passenger seat, to the ‘TOW/MAINTENANCE’ posi-

tion. For portable chargers, disconnect the charging plug

from the vehicle receptacle. For on-board chargers, dis-

connect the charging harness from the batteries. The

batteries must be cleaned and all deposits neutralized

and removed from the battery case to prevent self dis-

charge. 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

when the battery set is fully charged. Always refer to the

instructions of the specific charger used.

Fig. 25  Freezing Point of Electrolyte

Do not overfill batteries. The charging cycle will expel
electrolyte and result in component damage.

Before charging, the following should be observed:

The electrolyte level in all cells must be at the rec-

ommended level and cover the plates.

The charging must take place in an area that is

well ventilated and capable of removing the hydro-

gen gas that is generated by the charging pro-

cess. A 

minimum

 of five air exchanges per hour

is recommended.

The charging connector components are in good

condition and free from dirt or debris.

The charger connector is fully inserted into the

vehicle receptacle.

The charger connector/cord set is protected from

damage and is located in an area to prevent injury

that may result from personnel running over or

tripping over the cord set.

The charger is automatically turned off during the

connect/disconnect cycle and therefore no electri-

cal arc is generated at the DC plug/receptacle

contacts.
