OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS HORN BUTTON The horn button is located on the upper left side body panel and may be sounded by applying pressure. KEYSWITCH The keyswitch is on the right side of the console and energizes the vehicle. Rotate the key to the right from vertical to turn the vehicle on, return to vertical to turn the vehicle off.
OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS (Continued) (A) BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE (C) HOUR METER INDICATOR METER If equipped, the hour meter indicates the The battery state of charge meter on the total number of hours the vehicle has been left side of the console is an analog operating.
ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDAL The accelerator/brake pedal moves the vehicle when the toe portion of the pedal is depressed. When the pedal is in the upright position, the spring applied brake system is engaged. With the direction selector in the desired direction of travel, depress the pedal slowly until the appropriate speed is reached.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST Before operating the vehicle always inspect the items listed in the following checklist. Should any item malfunction or need adjustment. Do not operate vehicle until the problem has been corrected. ITEM PROCEDURE Fully charged or adequately charged to provide power for duration of operations.
VEHICLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DRIVING THE VEHICLE Do not operate vehicle unless you are a qualified and trained operator. Keep the vehicle under control at all times. Drive only on level surfaces or on surfaces having an incline of no more than 10%. ...
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM The type of battery used in a Columbia vehicle has a service requirement which is quite different from that of an automotive battery. The electric vehicle battery supplies all of the power to drive the vehicle. During operation the power stored in the batteries is expended.
Do not attempt to recharge batteries with a charger not designed for your vehicle. Only trained technicians should service the charger. Contact your Columbia Dealer for assistance. NOTICE: Install surge arrestors on incoming AC power lines. Surge arrestors will help protect electrical/electronic components in the charger and vehicle from all but direct or “close proximity”...
Damaged or corroded battery terminals should be replaced or cleaned as necessary. Failure to do so may cause overheating during operation. Do not attempt to recharge batteries with a charger not designed for your vehicle. Only trained technicians should service the IS-12 charger. Contact your Columbia Dealer for assistance. BATTERY CLEANING Acid-soaked debris on the battery terminal connections will cause current leakage, reduces battery efficiency, and battery life.
BATTERY CLEANING (Continued) 5. Use only distilled water. Vehicle batteries may use up to 16 quarts of water during their useful life and non-distilled water may contain harmful minerals which will have a cumulative adverse effect on battery performance and life. 6.
Charger start and charge time is automatic. The remote LED will be flashing short green. If this LED is not lit check the AC connection and the AC source fuse or breaker. If this fails to correct the problem, contact your Columbia Dealer for assistance.
RED LIGHT CHARGER ERROR CODES 1 FLASH = Battery Voltage High: Auto-recover. May be temporary condition, or wrong charger installed, i.e. 36 volt charger on 48 volt battery pack. 2 FLASH = Battery Voltage Low: Auto-recover. Confirm each individual batteries minimum voltage with a voltmeter.
Trojan Flooded NOTICE: For maximum battery life the correct algorithm must be used. If your battery model is not listed in Table A, contact Columbia ParCar for further information Each time AC power is applied with the battery pack NOT connected, the charger enters an algorithm select/display mode for approximately 11 seconds.
EXCESSIVELY DISCHARGED BATTERIES NOTICE: Your Columbia Dealer will have the equipment and experience to perform the following battery inspections The charger will not charge dead batteries. First establish that none of the batteries have an internal fault or bad cell. If a battery has remained too long in a discharged state (i.e. 2-4 volts each), it may be internally damaged and not capable of accepting a charge and must be replaced.
TIPS FOR PROLONGING BATTERY LIFE NOTICE: A common misconception is Deep Cycle Batteries develop a memory, lose capacity, or must be discharged until the BDI warning flashes and then recharged. Deep Cycle Wet Lead Acid Batteries are not like cell phone NiCad Batteries. Deep Cycle Batteries benefit from frequent charging and being maintained at as close as possible to a 100% state of charge.
ROLL OUT BATTERIES (IF EQUIPPED) BATTERY TRAY REMOVAL Before battery tray removal check that the direction selector is in the neutral position, the power keyswitch is in the “Off” position and the key is removed. Disconnect the battery connector from the vehicle charger connector.
