Use the following guidelines for the safe operation and use of your Amigo. Should you have any questions about the safe operation of your vehicle, please contact your Amigo dealer. If you are in doubt about your ability to operate your Amigo, consult your personal physician.
DO NOT • Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity. Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and damage to your Amigo. Amigo will not be responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations. • Do not drive over or off obstacles more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) high. This could be unsafe and could damage your Amigo. • Do not turn your Amigo at high speeds, as this could result in tipping. • Do not reverse down a steep hill or incline. • Do not park on inclines or declines. • Do not sit on the unit in a moving vehicle. • Do not allow anyone to ride with you.
Handle controls include: HI/LO speed adjustment knob, ON/OFF key switch, battery status gauge and horn button. The ON/OFF key switch, located on the right side of the handle control cover, will turn the power of the Amigo ON or OFF.
The freewheeling mode will allow you to push the unit, if necessary. To terminate the freewheeling mode, pull the brake lever toward the rear of the Amigo (Figure 5). When pulled into “normal,” Figure 5 the vehicle will be back into “drive” mode.
A battery indicator and diagnostic system are incorporated into the touchpad of all Amigo rear drive models with a TouchTron handle. The battery status gauge will be lit whenever the key is in the ON position. However, if the Amigo is inactive for more than 25 minutes, the Amigo automatically switches to “sleep mode.”...
Approach an unfamiliar door slowly. Does it have a knob or push bar? Does it open toward or away? Think in terms of using the power of the Amigo to do the work for you. Hold the doorknob or bar in one hand and apply the power with the other hand.
Note: when batteries are removed, the wheels will not rotate as long as the manual brake release lever is in the “normal” position. 7. Place seat and batteries into the trunk. 8. If your Amigo has a power seat lift, we suggest placing a cut out tennis ball or something similar over the seat post to protect it.
Amigos have an overcharge protection feature so that the batteries can be charged anytime the Amigo is not being used. It is a popular misconception that batteries should be deeply discharged before recharging. This is not the proper procedure for all batteries. They can actually be damaged if they are discharged too deeply before recharging.

20 seconds, then it will turn solid color. The batteries are fully charged when the tallest bar on the far right is blinking. Your Amigo can be charged with the key in the ON or OFF position. The indication will display only while in the charging mode (when power cord is plugged into AC outlet).
Battery Storage All the Amigo rear drive models use a battery system that allows the batteries to be removed after they have been disconnected from the platform battery connections. Each battery has a wire assembly with a two-position connector that slides into the connector mounted to the platform.
If you remove your batteries from your Amigo, put them on a surface that cannot be damaged by acid fumes. Whenever a battery is charged and discharged through a cycle, it breathes. The breathing of the battery emits acid fumes into the cloth strap (used to lift the batteries on rear drive models) and may mark surfaces it rests on for long periods of time.

Lighting The Amigo is equipped with a headlight, and with optional tail lights and turn signals. To replace the headlight bulb, twist the gray rubber part of the light assembly counterclockwise and remove. Bulbs come straight out (do not twist bulbs) of fixture and should be replaced in reverse order.
The circuit breaker is located under the rear cover and attached to the positive terminal on the batteries (Figure 11). If you suspect the circuit breaker is defective, use a jumper wire between the two terminals of the breaker. If the Amigo runs now, replace the circuit breaker.

ASIC MPC DIAGNOSTICS CODES The Amigo is equipped with an ASIC MPC. This controller has a built-in diagnostic feature that will cause the diagnostic light LEDs (located on either side of the battery gauge) to flash a numeric code indicating service issues and to aid in diagnoses. When indicating a service problem, the diagnostic light LEDs will flash, hesitate for a moment, and then flash again.
