SAFETY INFORMATION Yamaha PTVs are designed to be simple to operate. However, be sure to observe the following to reduce the risk of serious injury or death due to loss of control and other hazards: BEFORE OPERATING THE PTV • Read this Owner’s/Operator’s manual and all safety and instruction labels on the PTV before operating.
Page 13
SAFETY INFORMATION • Always drive slowly straight up or straight down slopes – never at an angle to avoid tipping or rolling the vehicle. • Do not make any modification or addition which affects capacity or safe operation, or make any changes not in accordance with the owner’s/oper- ator’s manual.
Page 14
SAFETY INFORMATION Like all machines, PTVs can cause injury if improperly used or maintained. Experience has shown that PTVs are safe when op- erated in accordance with the safety warnings affixed to every PTV. DRIVER QUALIFICATIONS Allow only authorized people to operate PTV. It is rec- ommended that only people who possess a valid mo- tor vehicle driver’s license be allowed to operate PTV.
Page 15
SAFETY INFORMATION • Loose Terrain – Avoid areas of loose terrain which may cause a PTV to lose traction and affect sta- bility. Take notice of conditions and reduce speed when driving on uneven or loose terrain. • Pedestrian Areas – Avoid areas with pedestrian traffic or congested areas whenever possible to prevent accidents.

CONTROLS MAIN SWITCH The main switch controls the following items: “OFF” All electrical circuits are switched off (motor controller unit remains energized). The PTV cannot be operated. The key can be removed only in this position. Li-ion BATTERY “ON” Electrical circuits are switched on. The vehicle can be driven.
Page 21
CONTROLS Use the table to determine the remaining battery ca- pacity. For example, if 7 of the 10 LED lights are lit, the bat- tery still has SOC (state of charge) 64-71 % left. When the battery falls to SOC 20 % or less, 1 LED will blink on and off, meaning the battery should be charged Li-ion BATTERY immediately.
