Charging The Battery

WARNING
Explosion and Fire Hazard
Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the
gasses coming from it are highly explosive. Ventilate the
battery well during charging.
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may be the
result of a defect in the charging system or other electrical
component. If there is any doubt about the cause of the problem,
see your dealer.
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by the
battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings included
in the Operator Safety section of this manual. Charge the
battery until fully charged. Do not charge at a rate higher than
10 amps.
Seat And Ground Speed Lever
Adjustments
The seat and ground speed levers should be adjusted so that
the ground speed levers can be moved through their full range
of motion without contacting the operator's legs.
Seat Adjustment
1. Raise the seat.
2. Loosen the adjustment hardware (A or B, Figure 18,
depending on seat type) under the seat base.
3. Slide the seat forward or backward to the desired position.
4. Tighten the hardware to 80 lb-in (9 Nm).

(B, Figure 19).
4. After adjustment is complete, tighten the hardware to 13
lb-ft (18 Nm).

Speed Balancing (Tracking) Adjustment

If the rider drifts to the right or left when the ground speed levers
are in the maximum forward position, the top speed of each of
these levers can be balanced. Only adjust the speed of the
wheel that is traveling faster.
1. Tighten the knob (A, Figure 20) of the faster wheel by
1/2-turn (clockwise) increments until the rider travels (tracks)
straight.
WARNING
Unsafe Operation Hazard
DO NOT adjust the rider for a faster overall speed forward
or reverse than it was designed.
