This vehicle has been designed and manufactured in the United States of America (USA) as

The use of non Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved parts may void the war-

ifications will void the vehicle warranty.

When servicing engines, all adjustments and replacement components must be per original

BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE

All batteries will self discharge over time. The rate of self discharge varies depending on the

ambient temperature and the age and condition of the batteries.

A fully charged battery will not freeze in winter temperatures unless the temperature falls

For winter storage, the batteries must be clean, fully charged and disconnected from any

source of electrical drain. The battery charger and the controller are both sources of electri-

cal drain. Unplug the battery charger DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.

As with all electric vehicles, the batteries must be checked and recharged as required or at a

minimum of 30 day intervals.

ers with absorbent material, sand or earth and dispose of in accordance with local, state and

federal regulations for acid and lead compounds. Contact local and/or state environmental

officials regarding disposal information.

ment may violate Federal Law (40 CFR part 1068.105 (b)) and be subject to fines and other

penalties as described in the Clean Air Act.
