On steep hills it is possible for vehicles to coast at greater than normal speeds encountered on a flat surface. To prevent loss of vehicle control and possible serious injury, speeds should be limited to no more than the maximum speed

on level ground. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS. Limit speed by applying the service brake.

Catastrophic damage to the drivetrain components due to excessive speed may result from driving the vehicle above

specified speed. Damage caused by excessive speed may cause a loss of vehicle control, is costly, is considered

abuse and will not be covered under warranty.

Use extra caution when towing the vehicle(s). Do not tow a single vehicle at speeds in excess of 12 mph (19 kph). Do

not tow more than three vehicles at a time. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 kph) while towing multiple vehicles. Towing the

vehicle at above the recommended speed may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle and other property. Vehicles equipped with the AC Drive motor must be towed with the Run-Tow switch, located under the passenger

seat, in the ¡®Tow¡¯ position.

GENERAL INFORMATION

To obtain a copy of the limited warranty applicable to the vehicle, call or write a local

distributor, authorized Branch or the Warranty Department with vehicle serial number and

manufacturer code.

The use of non Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved parts may void the

warranty.

Overfilling battery may void the warranty.

BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE

All batteries will self discharge over time. The rate of self discharge varies depending on the

ambient temperature and the age and condition of the batteries.

A fully charged battery will not freeze in winter temperatures unless the temperature falls

below -75 F (-60 C).

For winter storage, the batteries must be clean, fully charged and disconnected from any

source of electrical drain. The battery charger and the controller are both sources of

electrical drain. Unplug the battery charger DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.

Disconnect the controller from the battery set by selecting the ¡®TOW/MAINTENANCE¡¯

position on the RUN-TOW/MAINTENANCE SWITCH located under the passenger seat.

As with all electric vehicles, the batteries must be checked and recharged as required or at a

minimum of 30 day intervals.

Refer to the ¡®Prolonged Storage¡¯ section within the BATTERIES AND CHARGING section of

this manual.
