Page 4: Introduction
CABRA OWNER’S MANUAL Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your Cabra! We hope it enhances the way you hunt and enjoy the outdoors. Due to the unique design of this vehicle, it has significant differences in operation from typical cars, trucks, and other off-road utility vehicles. Some of the differences can have dire consequences if this vehicle is not operated properly. -
Page 5: Safety
CABRA OWNER’S MANUAL Safety • – The operator of the Cabra must be at least 16 years old and have a valid OPERATOR driver’s license. They must not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The operator must ensure that all operating guidelines including maximum capacities are being followed. - Page 6 Before each use of the Cabra, always make sure the hydraulic hose going into the hydraulic rams is free to move and that there is no chafing. There is a safety hose burst valve installed on the rams so that if the hydraulic hose breaks the valve closes and the cab will not come down.

Page 8: Steering
Work behind the dash panel should only be performed by UTD technicians or those trained on the Cabra. The output shaft of the electric power steering gearbox turns a hydraulic pump which then uses hydraulic fluid to actuate the hydraulic ram which turns the wheels. -
Page 9: Parking Brake
CABRA OWNER’S MANUAL – The parking brake is an electrically actuated brake mounted directly • parking brake on each electric motor. The parking brake is only actuated when the shifter is in park, however, if the shifter is moved to the park position while the vehicle is moving, the parking brake will not engage until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. -

Turn the key all the way to the left to turn off. If the Cabra is left on for 15 minutes drawing less than 5 amps, it will automatically turn off to protect from accidentally draining the battery pack. If this occurs, simply turn the key all the way to the right again to wake it up. -
Page 12: Lithium Ion Battery Pack And Charging
The full state of charge on the Cabra is de-rated to 97% to increase the longevity of the battery pack. When storing the Cabra for long periods of time it is best to leave it with a 40-70% SOC and not leave it plugged in. The Lithium Ion batteries maintain their charge state extremely well and should not lose more than 3% SOC per month. - Page 13 CABRA OWNER’S MANUAL The charge door in the Cabra has a safety switch which will force the motor controllers into neutral so the Cabra cannot accidentally be driven when it is plugged in. Periodically check to make sure the safety switch disables driving as this switch can get sticky.

80% SOC as long as the Cabra is not moving. Once full SOC is achieved it will automatically stop charging but the generator will keep running. -
Page 15: 12-Volt Systems
The converter puts out 1,000 watts at 12 volts DC which is sufficient to handle all the constant demand power requirements on the Cabra. When power is on, it is constantly charging the 12-volt battery which is in the compartment below the quail seat. -

40 degrees Fahrenheit. When leaving the Cabra out in sub-freezing weather leave the charge cord plugged into an energized outlet so that the battery pack will be kept warm and ready for use. -
Page 20: Feeders (If Equipped)
This winch is intended for light duty recovery and is light enough to be moved and installed on the front or the rear receiver hitch of the Cabra. Simply install in either receiver hitch and plug it into the Anderson connector adjacent to the receiver. The remote is then plugged into the connector just above the charge door. - Page 21 CABRA OWNER’S MANUAL of the animal. Aid in manipulating the animal while lifting it up so that it does not hang Be sure to stow the 2” tube before lowering the cab and tighten the thumb screws to prevent rattling.

Page 22: Maintenance
There is an access panel on the generator cover which faces the rear of the Cabra. Most all maintenance can be done with this cover removed. To access the bottom of the generator for the oil drain, remove the air prefilter on the bottom of the Cabra below the generator. -
Page 23: Suspension Lubrication
A spray of WD40 on the latch mechanism should loosen them up. If that does not work, replace the switch. Do not continue to operate the Cabra with any of the safety sensors inoperative. -
Page 24: Troubleshooting
The only way to get power to the parking brake is for the motor controller to command power to it, so if the controller is not working the brake will be on. If the Cabra must be towed a short distance and the controllers are working, a driver can sit in the driver seat with the Cabra in drive while someone tows the Cabra. -
Page 25: Vehicle Barely Moves And Feels Like A Parking Brake Is On
• vehicle barely moves and feels like a parking brake is on controllers on the Cabra are normally communicating with each other and constantly trying to synchronize speeds. If any of the wires between the two controllers gets damaged or cut, the motors can fight each other. The most probable place for this to happen is the wiring at the motors. -
Page 26: Steering Seems Loose
If the fluid level is normal and there are no apparent leaks, then bleed the system. To bleed the system, let the Cabra sit without turning the steering wheel for at least 15 minutes so any trapped air will move to the top. Bleeding is accomplished by connecting the provided hydraulic hose with quick connects on each end to the quick connects at the steering cylinder. -
Page 27: Jacking Vehicle
• Jacking vehicle – A hydraulic bottle jack is provided with the Cabra for changing tires along with a steel plate for use in off road conditions. The jacking points are on the plate holding the u-bolts to the axle just behind the tire being changed. -
Page 28: Warranty
CABRA OWNER’S MANUAL WARRANTY • The Generator is warranted for 3 years from the date of purchase per the Cummins Onan warranty policy which covers everything except routine maintenance for the first 2 years and covers parts and labor on major power train and generator set parts during the third year.
