BEFORE INITIAL USE

Read, understand and follow the safety label on the
instrument panel. Be sure you understand how to oper-
ate the vehicle, its equipment and how to use it safely.
Maintaining good performance depends to a large extent
on the operator.
Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of
the lead acid battery charging process. A 4%
concentration 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.
Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items
shown in the INITIAL SERVICE CHART must be per-
formed (Ref Fig. 1 on page 1).

PORTABLE CHARGER INSTALLATION

To prevent overheating that may cause serious
damage to the charger and create the potential
for fire, do not block or obstruct the airways.
Portable chargers must be mounted on a plat-
form above the ground or in such a manner as
to permit the maximum air flow underneath and
around the charger.
Portable chargers are shipped with the vehicle. Prior to
vehicle or charger operation, chargers must be removed
and mounted on a platform or wall above the ground to
permit maximum air flow around and underneath the
charger. If the charger is operated in an outdoor location,
rain and sun protection must be provided (Ref Fig. 2 on
page 2). A dedicated circuit is required for the charger.
Refer to the charger manual for appropriate circuit pro-
tection. The charger may remain plugged in to the AC
outlet. To charge the vehicle, refer to the instruction
labels on the charger. Insert the polarized DC plug com-
pletely into the vehicle receptacle (Ref Fig. 3 on page 2).
The charger will automatically start a few seconds after
plug insertion. The charger will automatically stop when
batteries are fully charged and the DC plug can be
removed to permit use of the vehicle.
