OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
FUEL
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from improper fuel handling:
Do not smoke near the fuel tank.
Do not refuel near open flame or electrical items which could produce a spark.
Always handle gasoline in a well ventilated area.
Always wear eye protection to protect against splashed fuel and fuel vapors.
Always allow adequate space for the expansion of gasoline. Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space
below bottom of filler neck.
Inspect fuel cap, tank and other components for leaks or deterioration that could cause a haz-
ardous condition.
The fuel tank is located under the seat on the passenger side of
the vehicle. Fill the tank with fresh, clean, automotive grade gaso-
line. High altitude or heavy use/load applications may benefit
from higher octane gasoline.
Do not
use gasoline containing Methanol
.
Some fuels, called oxygenated or reformulated gasoline, are gas-
oline blended with alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of
these blends can damage the fuel system or cause performance
problems. If any undesirable operating symptoms occur, use gas-
oline with a lower percentage of alcohol or ether.
Use fresh, regular grade unleaded fuel. Ethanol blend fuel up to 10% is permissible.
BATTERY
Heavy use of accessories may drain the battery and leave insufficient reserve to start the vehicle.
The vehicle uses a combination starter/generator to both start the engine and charge the battery. The engine will not
idle; therefore, the battery cannot be charged while the vehicle is stopped. Do not operate accessory items (such as
lights) excessively while the vehicle is stopped.
The generator is capable of supplying 35 amps; therefore, operation of all accessories could result in the discharge of
the battery even though the engine is running and the generator operating. Discharging the battery is known as deep
cycling. The battery is not a deep cycle model, but is a starting battery. Multiple deep cycling will result in the premature
failure of the battery.
If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be charged using a 12 volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or
less and in accordance with all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the charger.
