TRANSPORTING VEHICLE

TOWING

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death:
Use extra caution when towing a vehicle.
Do not ride on vehicle being towed.
Do not attempt to tow the vehicle with
ropes, chains or any device other than a
factory approved tow bar.
Do not tow vehicle on highways.
Do not tow a single vehicle at speeds in
excess of 12 mph (19 kph).
Do not tow more than three vehicles at a
time.
Do not exceed 5 mph (8 kph) while towing
multiple vehicles.
For non-PDS vehicles, lock direction selector in neutral
position prior to towing to prevent possible damage to
electric motor.
For PDS vehicles, place Run-Tow/Maintenance switch in
'Tow/Maintenance' position prior to towing to prevent
damage to electric motor and controller.
Do not tow a single vehicle at speeds in excess of 12
mph (19 kph). Do not tow more than three vehicles at a
time. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 kph) while towing multiple
vehicles. Towing the vehicle at above recommended
speed may result in severe injury and/or damage to vehi-
cle and other property.
Tow bars are not intended for road use.
PDS model vehicles are equipped with a 'Run-Tow/Main-
tenance' switch located underneath the seat on the pas-
senger side. The 'Tow/Maintenance' position allows the
vehicle to roll freely without activating the warning beeper
and eliminating potential damage to controller or motor
(Ref Fig. 7 on page 4). Check to see that vehicles to be
towed are switched to the 'Tow/Maintenance' position.
Never use ropes or chains to tow vehicle(s). Tow bars
are available from the Service Parts Department.
Tow bars are not intended for highway use. Before tow-
ing, lock direction selector in neutral. Do not ride on vehi-
cle being towed. Tow bars are designed to tow only one

HAULING

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death while transporting vehicle:
Secure the vehicle and contents.
Never ride on vehicle being transported.
Always remove windshield before transport-
ing.
Maximum speed with sun top installed is 50
mph (80 kph).
If the vehicle is to be transported at highway speeds, the
sun top must be removed and the seat bottom secured.
When transporting vehicle below highway speeds, check
for tightness of hardware and cracks in sun top at mount-
ing points. Always remove windshield when transporting.
Always check that the vehicle and contents are ade-
quately secured before transporting. The rated capacity
of the trailer or truck must exceed the weight of the vehi-
cle (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle
weight) and load plus 1000 lbs. (454 kg). Lock the park
brake and secure the vehicle using ratchet tie downs.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death from improper servicing techniques:
Do not attempt any type of servicing opera-
tions before reading and understanding all
notes, cautions and warnings in this manu-
al.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be
made to the powertrain while the motor is
running must be made with both drive
wheels raised and vehicle properly support-
ed on jack stands.
To reduce the possibility of motor damage,
never operate vehicle at full throttle for more
than 4 - 5 seconds while vehicle is in a 'no
load' condition.
