VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE

Vehicle Cleaning
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or vehicle damage, read and understand all instructions supplied by
manufacturer of pressure washer.
When pressure washing exterior of vehicle, do not use pressure in excess of 700 psi (4800 kPa). To reduce
the possibility of cosmetic damage, do not use any abrasive or reactive solvents to clean plastic parts. Do not
pressure wash electrical components or batteries.
It is important that proper techniques and cleaning materials be used. Using excessive water pressure may cause
severe injury to operator or bystander, damage to seals, plastics, seat material, body finish or electrical system. Do
not use pressure in excess of 700 psi (4800 kPa) to wash exterior of vehicle.
Normal cleaning of vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with a sponge
or soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth.
Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc. will require the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.
The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing with luke-
warm or cold water and mild detergent is required to preserve the painted surfaces.
Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive products designed for 'clear coat' automotive finishes will enhance
the appearance and durability of the painted surfaces.
Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control can collect on the under-body of the vehicle. These materials
will cause corrosion of under-body parts unless flushed occasionally with plain water. Thoroughly clean any areas
where mud or other debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed areas should be loosened to ease it's removal, tak-
ing care not to chip or otherwise damage paint.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

Servicing the Electric Vehicle
To prevent severe injury or death, resulting from improper servicing techniques, observe the following Warn-
ings:
Do not attempt any type of servicing operations before reading and understanding all notes, cautions and
warnings in this manual.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be made to the powertrain while the motor is running must be made
with the entire vehicle raised.
Wear eye protection when working on the vehicle. In particular, use care when working
around batteries, or using solvents or compressed air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an electrical arc, which could result in a battery explo-
sion, turn off all electrical loads from the batteries before removing any heavy gauge bat-
tery wires.
To prevent the possibility of permanent motor damage, never operate vehicle at full throttle for more than 3 -
4 seconds while vehicle is in a stalled condition.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after han-
dling.
It is in the best interest of both vehicle owner and servicing dealer to carefully follow the procedures recommended in
this manual. Adequate preventative maintenance, applied at regular intervals, is the best guarantee for keeping the
vehicle both dependable and economical.
