MAINTENANCE of the CURTIS 1268 MODEL CONTROLLER:
WARNING! There are no user serviceable parts inside the controller. No attempt
should be made to open, repair or otherwise modify the controller. Doing so may
damage the controller and will void the warranty.
The controller equipped on this vehicle is a model 1268 CURTIS separately exited
motor controller. This controller has a self-diagnostic program built in. It will monitor
and oversee operation of your vehicle while you drive and while it is parked. If at any
time your vehicle fails to respond to your control, the controller may aid in the
troubleshooting of the fault. The controller is covered with all the vehicles
electronics. DO NOT spray high pressure air or water directly at any of the
components.
The controller uses an internal capacitor to maintain its service program and monitor
feature. This means a constant battery draw; though it is very low amp, if the vehicle
is to remain unused for more than 1-2 weeks, ALWAYS turn the Tow/Run switch to
the Tow position.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
As the new owner of an electric vehicle, constant care and maintenance will give you
many years of continual use. Certain tools may be required for periodic maintenance
and they are readily available at most hardware or auto parts stores.
a) Tire pressure: The 10 inch aluminum wheels equipped on the car requires 25psi at
all times.
b) Grease: There are four (4) grease points on the vehicle; One on each steering
spindle, one on the rack and pinion and one on the steering middle shaft. Use of a
grease gun will be required for maintaining.
c) Rear End: The vehicle has a Direct Helical Drive Transaxle. It is a splash lube
system with built in ventilation. The drain plug on the bottom cover is also used
for filling the unit. From total empty, the axle should take 8-12 ounces of a 90
weight gear lube.
d)
Batteries: Special care should be taken with the battery pack in this vehicle.
Constant cleaning of the battery set will NOT cause damage. It is best to keep
them as clean as possible at all times. Battery water should be checked constantly
until you find out how your batteries consume and dissipate water. NEVER let
your batteries run on low or no water. Damage will be caused immediately to
exposed cell plates.
e) Electronics: Battery cables, motor wires, contact and controller wires, and any plug
connections should be checked for proper torque (70 inch pounds) and tightness
once a month. The Tow switch should be engaged during any check of electric
connections.
