FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Batteries
This vehicle is equipped with eight 6-volt batteries that supply the power needed to operate the
vehicle. The batteries are located under the seat. See page 69 for battery access instructions.
Always observe all battery safety warnings and safe handling procedures as outlined on vehicle
safety labels and in this manual. Refer to the battery maintenance section beginning on page 68 .
Battery Handling Precautions
• Always make sure that all electrical accessories are grounded directly to the negative (-) post on
the terminal board. Never use the chassis or body as a ground connection.
• Always keep battery terminals and connections clean and free of corrosion at all times. See
page 69 .
• Always maintain a full charge on the batteries. For best battery life, avoid discharging the batteries
more than 80%.
• Make sure new batteries are fully charged before using.
• New deep cycle batteries need to be cycled several times before reaching full capacity (50-125
cycles, depending on type). Capacity will be limited during this time.
• Make sure vent caps are installed properly and securely during vehicle operation and battery
charging.
• Recharge batteries fully at the end of each day the vehicle is operated, allowing adequate time for
the charger to complete its charge cycle. The batteries in this vehicle do not have a “memory
effect”. Frequent charging will extend their life.
• Avoid charging at temperatures above 120° F. (49° C.) ambient air temperature. Closed, unvented
storage buildings often exceed this temperature when exposed to direct sunlight.
• Never connect a 6-volt accessory directly to the batteries. Always connect any powered
accessory to a 12-volt auxiliary outlet or terminal board.
• Never connect jumper cables to any of the batteries of this vehicle.
• Use only insulated tools when working in the battery compartment.
