SERVICING THE VEHICLE
To prevent severe injury or death,
resulting from improper servicing
techniques, observe the following
warnings:
Do not attempt any type of servicing operations
before reading and understanding all notes, cau-
tions, and warnings in this manual.
Any service that requires adjustments to be made to
the powertrain while the motor is in operation must
be made with all four wheels raised.
Wear eye protection when working on the vehicle. In
particular, use care when working around batteries
or using solvents or compressed air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an electrical
arc, which could cause a battery explosion, disable
all electrical loads from the batteries before remov-
ing any heavy gauge battery wires.
To prevent the possibility of motor disintegration in
the electric powertrain, never operate vehicle at full
throttle for more than 4 - 5 seconds while vehicle is
in a “no load” condition (all 4 wheels off of the
ground).
It is in the best interest of both vehicle owner and servic-
ing dealer to carefully follow the procedures recom-
mended in this manual. Adequate preventative
maintenance, applied at regular intervals, is the best
guarantee for keeping the vehicle both dependable and
economical.
In any product, components will eventually fail to perform
properly as the result of normal use, age, wear, or abuse.
It is impossible to anticipate all possible component fail-
ures or the manner in which each component can fail.
A vehicle requiring repair indicates that the vehicle is no
longer functioning as designed and should be considered
potentially hazardous. Use caution when working on a
vehicle. When diagnosing, removing or replacing any
components that are not operating properly, consider the
safety of yourself and those around you should the com-
ponent move unexpectedly.
Some components are heavy, spring loaded, highly corro-
sive, explosive, or can produce amperage or reach high
temperatures. Carbon monoxide, battery acid and hydro-
gen gas could cause serious bodily injury to the techni-
cian/mechanic and bystanders if not treated with the
utmost caution. Be careful not to place hands, face, feet,
or body in a location that could expose them to injury
should an unforeseen dangerous situation occur.
Always use the appropriate tools listed in the tool list and
wear approved safety equipment.
Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items
shown in the INITIAL SERVICE CHART should be per-
formed (Ref. Fig. 4).
