WARNING
• Turn the key switch to the OFF position, remove the key, and leave the Forward/Reverse handle or
switch in the NEUTRAL position during storage. This is to prevent unintentionally starting the vehicle
or a fire hazard. Place Tow/Run switch in the TOW position.
• Only trained technicians should service or repair the vehicle or battery charger. Anyone doing even
simple repairs or service should have knowledge and experience in electrical and mechanical repair.
The appropriate instructions must be used when performing maintenance, service, or accessory
installation.
• Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery. Frozen
batteries can explode.
CAUTION
• Batteries in a low state of charge will freeze at low temperatures.
• To avoid exposing electrical components to moisture and subsequent damage, do not use any type or
pressure washing or steam cleaning equipment to wash the vehicle.

PREPARING THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED STORAGE

Check Battery Water Levels Two Weeks Prior to Storage
Check water levels at least two weeks prior to winter storage to ensure proper mixing of water and electrolyte. Note that
it takes approximately five charge cycles with a minimum of 10 amp hours removed after each charge to properly mix
