Batteries
The batteries store electrical energy that powers your
PMV. See III. "Batteries and Charging" for informa-
tion on how to charge your PMV batteries.
Main Circuit Breaker
When the voltage in the batteries becomes low or
your PMV is heavily strained because of excessive
loads, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect the
motor and electronics from damage. When the
breaker trips, the entire electrical system shuts down.
See figure 7.
Reset lever flips down when the breaker trips.
Allow a minute or so for the electronics to "rest."
Push the reset lever up until you hear a click, or
push in the reset button to reset the breaker.
If the breaker trips frequently, you may need to
charge the batteries more often or have your
authorized Provider perform a load test on the
batteries.
If the main circuit breaker trips repeatedly, see
your authorized Provider for service.
NOTICE: If you are preparing the PMV for
transport or service, or if there is a situation that
requires you to manually shut down the electrical
system, press the manual shut-off button on the
circuit breaker. This will cut all power to the PMV.
SECUREMENT POINTS
Always secure the PMV in a forward-facing position
in the vehicle. Attach the four tie-down straps to the
designated securement points. See figure 8. Tighten
the straps to sufficiently remove all slack. Never
attach tie-downs to adjustable, moving, or removable
parts of the PMV such as armrests, shrouds, and
wheels. These items should be removed. Position the
anchor points for the rear tie-down straps directly
behind the rear securement points on the PMV. The
front tie-down straps should anchor to floor points
that are spaced wider than the PMV to provide
increased lateral stability.
WARNING! Ensure PMVs are properly
secured to the motor vehicle during
transport. PMVs that are not properly
secured can become a hazard to the
user and to other vehicle passengers
in the event of a crash, sudden
stopping, or swerving, as the PMV
could tip or slide out of place.
