Before Initial Use - Bad Boy AMBUSH Owner's Manual

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

BEFORE INITIAL USE

Record the four digit key number and store in a safe place. Individual keys
can only be replaced if the key number is known. Without a key number, the
entire ignition switch will have to be replaced if keys are lost.
Make a note of the key number in the event that new keys must be
ordered. The key number is stamped into the key and on the face of
the ignition switch. Both numbers must match.
Be sure you understand the vehicle, its equipment and how to use it

safely. Read, understand and follow the safety and operation label
on the lower OPS cross bar. Although the vehicle has been designed
to provide safe and reliable operation, maintaining good perfor-
mance depends, to a large extent, on the operator.
If this vehicle is to be operated above 5000 ft. a high altitude kit will
need to be installed in the carburetor.
Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items
shown in the INITIAL SERVICE CHART must be per-
formed.
Remove the battery charger for the electric motor bat-
tery set. Read the operation instructions for the charger
before charging the battery set.
Vehicle batteries, both the battery for the gas engine and
the battery set that powers the electric motor, must be
fully charged before initial use.
Check for correct tire inflation. See GENERAL SPECIFI-
CATIONS.
Check the hydraulic brake fluid level.
Check the fuel tank under the passenger seat and fill
with unleaded gasoline (10% Ethanol blend is permissi-
ble).
Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in
shipment from the factory.
Remove the protective clear plastic, that protect the seat
bottom and back rest during shipping, before placing the vehicle in service.
Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of the lead acid battery charging process. A 4% con-
centration of hydrogen gas is explosive and could cause severe injury or death. Charging must
take place in an area that is adequately ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour).
To reduce the chance of battery explosion that could result in severe injury or death, never smoke
around or charge batteries in an area that has open flame or electrical equipment that could cause
an electrical arc.
