MAINTENANCE
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.

VEHICLE WITH A DISCHARGED BATTERY

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from inadvertent motion, do not attempt to
'jump start' a vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator and does not idle. When starting the engine, the starter/generator
functions as a starter and with the engine running, it functions as a generator.
With the short running times associated with this kind of vehicle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain the
battery charge level. The generator is not designed to charge a discharged battery.
When engine starts, the clutches engage and cause vehicle to move making 'jump starting' both dangerous and
5
impractical.
If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be charged using a 12 volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or
less. Read all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the charger.

TRANSPORTING VEHICLE

Towing

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death:
Use extra caution when towing a vehicle.
DO NOT ride on the vehicle being towed.
DO NOT attempt to tow the vehicle with ropes, chains or any device other than a factory
approved tow bar.
DO NOT tow the vehicle on highways.
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.

Neutral Lock

To prevent the driven clutch from turning the rear wheels during
service operations, a neutral lock is located on the direction selec-
tor.
To operate:
1. Turn key switch to 'OFF' and lift front seat bottom.
2. Pull out and rotate the neutral lock pin handle towards the driver
side so that the pointed portion of the handle is to the side of the
direction selector cam. Move direction selector towards the area
between 'F' and 'R'. During that motion the pin will snap into the
hole in the direction selector mounting bracket preventing any
movement. When in this position, the direction selector remains
locked in the neutral position.
To unlock the direction selector, pull the neutral lock pin handle out
and rotate toward the passenger side until the pointed portion of
the handle fits into the hole in the direction selector cam.
