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
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. Since the engine stops when the accelerator is
released, do not attempt jump starting.
With the running times associated with this kind of vehi-
cle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain the
battery charge level. The generator is not designed to
charge a discharged battery.
If the vehicle is equipped with additional lights and/or a
strobe light that is used when the vehicle is not in motion,
the starter/generator may not be adequate to maintain
battery charge. If the vehicle battery has become dis-
charged, it must be charged using a 12V charger that is
rated at 10 amps or less. Observe all instructions pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the charger.
COASTING
On steep hills, it is possible for the vehicle to coast at
greater than normal speeds encountered on a flat sur-
face. To prevent loss of vehicle control, speeds should be
limited to no more than the maximum governed speed on
level ground (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS). Limit
speed by applying the service brake. Severe damage to
the drive train components may result due to excessive
speed. Damage caused by excessive speed may cause
a loss of control, is costly to repair, is considered abuse
and will not be covered under warranty.
FUEL
To prevent a possible explo-
sion, do not smoke near the
fuel tank or refuel 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.
The fuel tank cap is located under the seat, on the passenger
side of the vehicle (Ref Fig. 19 on page 12). Fill 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 over fill the fuel tank. Allow ade-
quate space for the expansion of gasoline.
Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space below bottom of filler neck.
TOWING
This vehicle is not designed
to be towed.
It is recommended that the vehicle be moved by placing
the entire vehicle on a trailer, flatbed truck or other suit-
able transport.
SERVICING THE VEHICLE
To prevent severe injury or
death resulting from improp-
er servicing techniques,
observe the following:
Do not attempt any type of servicing operations
before reading and understanding all notes, cau-
tions and warnings in this manual.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be made
to the powertrain while the motor is running must
be made with both drive wheels raised.
Wear eye protection when working on
the vehicle. In particular, use care when
working around batteries, or using sol-
vents or compressed air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an electrical
arc, which could result in a battery explosion, turn
off all electrical loads from the batteries before
removing any heavy gauge battery wires.
To prevent the possibility of powertrain failure,
never operate vehicle at full throttle for more than
4 - 5 seconds while vehicle is in a ‘no load’ condi-
tion.
