Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
The oil should be changed in accordance with the Periodic Service Schedule while the engine is warm. See SERVICE
AND MAINTENANCE and Appendix A (Briggs & Stratton Engine Manual) for checking oil level and changing oil pro-
cedures.

MOMENTARY 4 WHEEL DRIVE

When the gas powertrain is in use the Momentary 4 Wheel Drive button may be pressed to provide 4 wheel drive by
temporarily activating the front powertrain. The electric powertrain will operate as long as the button is pressed; when
the button is released the vehicle will return to 2 wheel drive powered by the gas engine.
STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH DISCHARGED BATTERY
Do not attempt to 'jump start' a vehicle using another vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator. When starting the engine, the starter/generator functions as a starter
and with the engine running, it functions as a generator. Since the engine stops when the accelerator is released, do
not attempt jump starting.
With the running times associated with this kind of vehicle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain the bat-
tery charge level. The generator is not designed to charge a discharged battery.
If the vehicle is equipped with additional lights and/or a strobe light that is used when the vehicle is not in motion, the
starter/generator may not be adequate to maintain battery charge. If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it
must be charged using a 12V charger that is rated at 10 amps or less. Observe all instructions provided by the manu-
facturer of the charger.

COASTING

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from coasting at above recommended speeds,
limit speed with service brake.
On steep hills, it is possible for the vehicle to coast at greater than normal speeds encountered on a flat surface. To
reduce the possible loss of vehicle control and severe drivetrain damage, speeds should be limited to no more than
the maximum governed speed on level ground (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS). Limit speed by applying pressure
to the brake pedal.

FUEL

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from improper fuel handling:
Do not smoke near the fuel tank.
Do not refuel near open flame or electrical items which could produce a spark.
Always handle gasoline in a well ventilated area.
Always wear eye protection to protect against splashed fuel and fuel vapors.
