BEFORE INITIAL USE
Record the four digit key number and store in a safe place. Individ-
ual keys can only be replaced if the key number is known. Without
a key number, the entire ignition switch will have to be replaced if
keys are lost.
Make a note of the key number in the event that new keys must be
ordered. The key number is stamped into the key and on the face of
the ignition switch. Both numbers must match.
Be sure you understand the vehicle, its equipment and how to use it
safely. Read, understand and follow the safety and operation label
on the lower OPS cross bar. Although the vehicle has been designed
to provide safe and reliable operation, maintaining good perfor-
mance depends, to a large extent, on the operator.
Before a new vehicle is put into operation, the items
shown in the INITIAL SERVICE CHART must be per-
formed.
Remove the battery charger for the electric motor bat-
tery set. Read the operation instructions for the charger
before charging the battery set.
Vehicle batteries, both the battery for the gas engine
and the battery set that powers the electric motor, must
be fully charged before initial use.
Check for correct tire inflation. See GENERAL SPECIFI-
CATIONS.
Check the hydraulic brake fluid level.
Check the fuel tank under the seat and fill with unleaded
gasoline (10% Ethanol blend is permissible).
Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in
shipment from the factory.
Remove the protective clear plastic, that protect the seat
bottom and back rest during shipping, before placing the
vehicle in service.
Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of the lead acid battery charging process. A 4%
concentration of hydrogen gas is explosive and could cause severe injury or death. Charging
must take place in an area that is adequately ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour).
To reduce the chance of battery explosion that could result in severe injury or death, never smoke
around or charge batteries in an area that has open flame or electrical equipment that could
cause an electrical arc.
