OREION™ HUMMER HX-T™ OWNERS MANUAL
CAUTION
•
When stationary on a hill, use the footbrake or parking brake to hold position. Do not
use the accelerator pedal. Holding the accelerator pedal will reduce the life of the
batteries and the motor.
Parking
• After stopping the electric cart, engage the parking brake by pulling up on the hand
lever.
•
Turn the key switch OFF, remove the key, and place the drive stick switch in the Park
Position ('P').

Towing

WARNING
•
Do not tow behind an automobile or truck on any public roads. To tow the cart on public
roads, use a trailer with a minimum load rating of 2,000 lbs.
•
To tow the cart, turn the ignition switch to the off position and place the drive stick into
park position.
•
Use extreme caution while turning.
•
Do not allow persons in the cart while being towed.
•
Avoid stopping on a hill when towing and do not allow to roll backwards as this may
cause the cart to overturn.

Storage

DANGER
•
Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the
battery. Frozen batteries can explode.
•
Batteries in a low state of charge are more likely to freeze. Charge batteries fully before
storing the cart.
1. Turn the ignition key OFF, place the drive stick switch in Park ('P'), and chock the wheels
to prevent any rolling. Apply the parking brake.
2. Fully charge the batteries. If possible, keep the battery charger connected so that the
batteries will not discharge. A computer on the charger will automatically monitor and
charge the batteries. If a reliable AC power supply is not available, disconnect the charger
from the AC supply and disconnect the batteries.
3. Dirty battery tops can conduct small amounts of electricity and hasten the discharging of
the batteries. Clean battery tops and terminals with a solution of water and baking soda (1
gallon / 3.78 litres of water for 1 cup of baking soda). Do not allow this solution to enter the
batteries.
