MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.

VEHICLE WITH A DISCHARGED BATTERY

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from inadvertent motion, do not attempt to
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator and does not idle. When starting the engine, the starter/generator func-
tions as a starter and with the engine running, it functions as a generator.
With the short 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.
When the engine starts, the clutches engage and cause the vehicle to move making 'jump starting' both dangerous and
impractical.
If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it can be charged using a 12 volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or less.
Read and understand all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the charger.

TRANSPORTING VEHICLE

Do not tow this vehicle. The vehicle should be moved by placing the entire vehicle on a trailer, flatbed truck or other suit-
able transport.

Neutral Lock

A neutral lock is located on the direction selector to prevent the driven clutch from turning the rear wheels during service
operations.
To operate neutral lock:
1. Turn key switch to 'OFF' and lift seat bottom.
2. Pull out (1) and rotate (2) the neutral lock pin handle so that
the pointed portion of the handle is to the side of the direction
selector cam.
3. Move direction selector towards the area between 'F' and 'R'.
During that motion the pin will snap into the hole in the direc-
tion selector mounting bracket preventing any movement.
When in this position, the direction selector remains locked in
the neutral position.
4. To unlock the direction selector, pull the neutral lock pin handle
out and rotate until the pointed portion of the handle fits into
the hole in the direction selector cam.
