passeng er ma y not be expecting y ou to brak e
or tur n and ma y not be ready .
• Alw a ys w atc h out for and a v oid lo w o v erhangs
suc h as tree limbs , door jambs , and o v er -head
w alkw a ys . Mak e sure there is enough room
o v er head to easily clear the v ehicle and y our
head.
• F ailure to operate the v ehicle safely ma y result
in an accident, tip o v er of the v ehicle , and
serious injur y or death. Dri v e carefully . T o
prev ent tipping or loss of control:
– Use extreme caution, reduce speed, and
maintain a safe distance around sand traps ,
ditc hes , creeks , ramps , unfamiliar areas ,
or any areas that ha v e abr upt c hang es in
g round conditions or elev ation.
– W atc h for holes or other hidden hazards .
– Use extra caution when operating the
v ehicle on w et surfaces , in adv erse w eather
conditions , at higher speeds , or with a
full load. Stopping time and distance will
increase with a full load.
– A v oid sudden stops and star ts . Do not
g o from rev erse to forw ard or forw ard to
rev erse without first coming to a complete
stop .
– Slo w do wn before tur ning . Do not attempt
shar p tur ns or abr upt maneuv ers or other
unsafe dri ving actions that ma y cause a loss
of v ehicle control.
– W hen dumping, do not let any one stand
behind the v ehicle and do not dump the
load on any one’ s feet. R elease the tailg ate
latc hes from the side of the bo x, not from
behind.
– Only operate the v ehicle when the carg o
bo x is do wn and latc hed.
– Before bac king up , look to the rear and
ensure that no one is behind y ou. Bac k up
slo wly .
– W atc h out for traffic when y ou are near or
crossing roads . Alw a ys yield the right of
w a y to pedestrians and other v ehicles . T his
v ehicle is not designed for use on streets or
highw a ys . Alw a ys signal y our tur ns or stop
early enough so that other people kno w
what y ou plan to do . Obey all traffic r ules
and regulations .
– T he electrical system of the v ehicle
can produce sparks capable of igniting
explosi v e materials . Nev er operate the
v ehicle in or near an area where there is
dust or fumes in the air whic h are explosi v e .
– If y ou are ev er unsure about safe operation,
stop w or k and ask y our super visor .
• If the v ehicle ev er vibrates abnor mally , stop
immediately , w ait for all motion to stop , and
inspect the v ehicle for damag e . R e pair all
damag e before commencing operation.
• Before g etting off of the seat:
1. Stop the mo v ement of the v ehicle .
2. Set the parking brak e .
3. T ur n the k ey to Off .
4. R emo v e the k ey .
Note: If the v ehicle is on an incline , bloc k
the wheels after g etting off of the v ehicle .
Braking
• Slo w do wn before y ou approac h an obstacle .
T his gi v es y ou extra time to stop or tur n a w a y .
Hitting an obstacle can damag e the v ehicle and
its contents . More impor tant, it can injure y ou
and y our passeng er .
• Gross V ehicle W eight (GVW) has a major
impact on y our ability to stop and/or tur n.
Hea vy loads and attac hments mak e a v ehicle
harder to stop or tur n. T he hea vier the load,
the long er it tak es to stop .
• Decrease the v ehicle speed if the carg o bo x has
been remo v ed and there is no attac hment on
the v ehicle . T he braking c haracteristics c hang e
and fast stops ma y cause the rear wheels to loc k
up , whic h ma y affect the control of the v ehicle .
• T urf and pa v ement are m uc h more slipper y
when they are w et. It can tak e 2 to 4 times
as long to stop on w et surfaces as on dr y
surfaces . If y ou dri v e through standing w ater
dee p enough to g et the brak es w et, they will
not w ork w ell until they are dr y . After dri ving
through w ater , y ou should test the brak es to
5
mak e sure they w ork properly . If they do not,
dri v e slo wly while putting light pressure on the
brak e pedal. T his will dr y the brak es out.
Operating on Hills
Operating the v ehicle on a hill may cause
tipping or r olling of the v ehicle, or the motor
may stall and y ou could lose head w ay on the
hill. T his could r esult in per sonal injur y .
• Do not operate on ex cessi v el y steep
slopes.
• Do not accelerate quickl y or slam on
the brak es when backing do wn a hill,
especiall y with a load.
• If the batteries r un lo w or y ou lose
head w ay on a hill, slo wl y back straight
do wn the hill. Nev er attempt to tur n the
v ehicle ar ound.
• Operate the v ehicle slo wl y on a hill and
use caution.
• A v oid tur ning on a hill.
• R educe y our load and the speed of the
v ehicle.
• A v oid stopping on hills, especiall y with
a load.
T hese extra cautions need to be tak en when
operating the v ehicle on a hill:
• Slo w do wn before star ting up or do wn a hill.
• If the batteries r un lo w or y ou begin to lose
headw a y while climbing a hill, g radually apply
the brak es and slo wly bac k straight do wn the
hill.
• T ur ning while tra v eling up or do wn hills can
be dang erous . If y ou ha v e to tur n while on a
hill, do it slo wly and cautiously . Nev er mak e
shar p or fast tur ns .
• Hea vy loads affect stability . R educe the w eight
of the load and y our speed when operating on
hills or if the load has a high center of g ra vity .
Secure the load to prev ent it from shifting and
tak e extra care when hauling loads that shift
easily (liquid, roc k, sand, etc .).
• A v oid stopping on hills , especially with a load.
Stopping while g oing do wn a hill will tak e
long er than stopping on lev el g round. If the
v ehicle m ust be stopped, a v oid sudden speed
c hang es , whic h ma y initiate tipping or rolling
of the v ehicle . Do not slam on the brak es
when rolling bac kw ard, as this ma y cause the
v ehicle to o v er tur n.
• W e strongly recommend installing the optional
R OPS Kit when operating on hilly ter rain.
Operating on Rough Terrain
R educe speed and load when operating on rough
ter rain, unev en g round, and near curbs , holes , and
other sudden c hang es in ter rain. Loads ma y shift,
causing the v ehicle to become unstable .
W e strongly recommend installing the optional
R OPS Kit when operating on rough ter rain.
Sudden changes in ter rain may cause a br upt
steering wheel mo v ement, possibl y r esulting
in hand and ar m injuries.
• R educe y our speed when operating on
r ough ter rain and near curbs.
• Grip the steering wheel loosel y ar ound
the perimeter . K eep y our hands clear of
the steering wheel spok es.
Loading and Dumping
T he w eight and position of the carg o and
passeng er can c hang e the v ehicle center of g ra vity
and v ehicle handling . T o a v oid loss of control and
personal injur y , follo w these guidelines:
• Do not car r y loads whic h ex ceed the load
limits described on the v ehicle w eight label;
refer to Specifications in Product Ov er view ,
pag e 20 , for v ehicle w eight limits . T he load
rating is for lev el surf aces onl y .
• R educe the w eight of the load when operating
on hills and rough ter rain to a v oid tipping or
o v er tur ning of the v ehicle .
• R educe the w eight of the load if the center of
g ra vity is high. Items suc h as bric ks , fer tilizer ,
or landscape timbers stac k higher in the bo x.
T he higher a load is stac k ed, the more lik ely
the v ehicle is to tip o v er . Distribute the load as
lo w as possible , making sure that the load does
not affect rear visibility .
6
• P osition the w eight of the load ev enly from
side to side . If y ou position the load to w ard
one of the sides , the v ehicle is more lik ely to
tip o v er while tur ning .
• P osition the w eight of a load ev enly from front
to bac k. If y ou position the load behind the
rear axle , it will reduce the w eight on the front
wheels . T his ma y result in a loss of steering
control or cause the v ehicle to tip o v er on hills
or bumpy ter rain.
• Use extra caution if the load ex ceeds the
dimensions of the bo x and when handling
off-center loads that cannot be centered. K ee p
loads balanced and secure to prev ent them
from shifting .
• Alw a ys secure loads so that they do not shift.
If a load is not secured, or y ou are transpor ting
a liquid in a larg e container suc h as a spra yer ,
the load can shift. T his shifting happens most
often while tur ning, g oing up or do wn hills ,
suddenly c hanging speeds , or while dri ving
o v er rough surfaces . Shifting loads can cause
the v ehicle to tip o v er .
T he w eight of the bo x may be hea vy .
Hands or other body par ts could be
cr ushed.
Handling and Servicing
Batteries
• T o reduce the potential for fire , k ee p the
batteries and motor area free of ex cessi v e
g rease , g rass , lea v es , and accum ulation of dir t.
• Alw a ys disconnect and remo v e a batter y cable
before ser vicing any electrical components .
• Disconnecting any batter y cable will inhibit
operation of the electrical system.
• Batter y electrolyte contains sulfuric acid.
Sulfuric acid produces h y drog en g as whic h, in
the right propor tions is explosi v e .
– Alw a ys ser vice , store , and c harg e the
v ehicle in a w ell v entilated area.
– K ee p sparks and open flames a w a y from
the batteries .
– Do not smok e near the batteries .
– Nev er use an open flame to c hec k the lev el
or leakag e of batter y electrolyte .
• Use caution when handling and w orking
around electrolyte . T he sulfuric acid in
electrolyte can bur n skin and damag e clothing .
Fur ther more , it can be emitted as a g as that
can damag e y our lungs .
– W ear proper eye , hand, and face protection.
– K eep hands and other body par ts
clear when lo w ering the bo x.
– Do not dump materials on bystander s.
• Nev er dump a loaded carg o bo x while the
v ehicle is sidew a ys on a hill. T he c hang e in
w eight distribution ma y cause the v ehicle to
o v er tur n.
• W hen operating with a hea vy load in the carg o
bo x, reduce y our speed and allo w for sufficient
braking distance . Do not suddenly apply the
brak es . Use extra caution on slopes .
• Be a w are that hea vy loads increase y our
stopping distance and reduce y our ability to
tur n quic kly without tipping o v er .
• T he rear carg o space is intended for load
car r ying pur poses only , not for passeng ers .
• Nev er o v erload y our v ehicle . T he decal
(located on the rear frame) sho ws load limits
for the v ehicle . Nev er o v erload the attac hments
or ex ceed the Gross V ehicle W eight (GVW).
– Do not lean o v er the batteries at any time .
– A v oid breathing batter y fumes .
– Fill the batteries where clean w ater is alw a ys
a v ailable for flushing the skin.
– If y ou g et electrolyte on y our skin or eyes ,
flush the affected area for 20 min utes with
clean w ater . R emo v e acid soak ed clothing .
Seek medical attention immediately .
– K ee p c hildren and pets a w a y from the
batteries and electrolyte .
• Electrolyte is v er y poisonous .
– Do not drink electrolyte .
– If electrolyte is sw allo w ed, do not induce
v omiting; instead, drink larg e amounts of
w ater or milk follo w ed b y milk of magnesia,
beaten ra w eg gs , or v eg etable oil. Get
medical attention immediately .
– K ee p c hildren and pets a w a y from the

Understanding and Using
the Battery System
Understanding Deep Cycle Batteries
T he v ehicle contains 8 dee p cycle , lead-acid
batteries whic h supply po w er to the motor and
accessories . A dee p cycle batter y is not the same
as an automobile batter y . An automobile batter y is
designed to pro vide a surg e of po w er to star t the
v ehicle and moderate po w er to r un the lights and
accessories when the motor if off or idling . T he
alter nator then contin uously rec harg es it as the
automobile r uns . As suc h, an automobile batter y
seldom drops belo w 90% of maxim um c harg e
lev el.
A dee p cycle batter y is designed to be a primar y
po w er source to pro vide a sustained output. Dee p
cycle batteries are typically disc harg ed as lo w as
24
20% to 30% of the maxim um c harg e lev el. A
disc harg e this lo w is considered a dee p disc harg e .
Lead acid batteries produce electricity through
a c hemical reaction betw een coated lead plates
and sulfuric acid. Charging a batter y rev erses the
c hemical reaction, allo wing the batter y to once
ag ain produce electricity .
A batter y is a perishable item that has a limited life
time ( Figure 23 ). W hen a batter y is new , it requires
a break-in period to establish efficient electrical
production. T his break in period usually requires
20 to 50 disc harg e/c harg e cycles .
Figure 23

2. Discharge/charge cycles 5. End of battery life
3. Break-in period (20 to 50
cycles)
4. Prime battery life
Figure 24
1. Battery/hour meter 2. Charge indicator bars
As y ou use the v ehicle , the bars will disappear as
the electrical capacity of the batteries is used.
W hen only 2 bars are left, the red w ar ning light
on the meter will illuminate and the batter y icon
will begin flashing on the screen ( Figure 25 ). T his
indicates that the batter y capacity is nearly drained
and y ou should c harg e the batteries as soon as
possible to prev ent batter y damag e .
After the break-in period, the batter y will maintain
a high capacity for many cycles . T he n umber of
cycles a batter y will perfor m is de pendant on the
follo wing:
• Batter y maintenance—improper maintenance
will sev erely reduce the life of the batteries .
• De pth of disc harg e betw een c harg e
cycles— the deeper the batteries ar e
discharged on a r egular basis betw een
charges, the less life they will ha v e.
• R ec harg e frequency—c harg e the batteries
whenev er they are not in use . Full y
discharging the batteries will dama ge them
and r educe their life.
At the end of the batter y life , the coating on
the lead plates begins to deteriorate , causing the
batteries to rapidly lose electric capacity .
Using the Battery System
W hen y our batteries are fully c harg ed, the batter y
meter will ha v e ten bars sho wing from left to right
( Figure 24 ).
Figure 25
1. Battery icon
2. Warning light—on
W hen only one bar is left, the w ar ning light will
begin flashing and the v ehicle will g o into an
energ y sa ving mode ( Figure 26 ). In this mode ,
the v ehicle will only dri v e at 3 mph. R ec harg e the
batteries immediately to prev ent serious damag e
to them.
If the batteries become fully disc harg ed, the v ehicle
will shut do wn. Do not allo w the batteries to
become full y discharged.
25
Important: T o obtain maximum batter y
life, al w ays charge the batteries when ther e ar e
2 or mor e bar s visible on the scr een. Depleting
the batteries lo w er than 2 bar s, especiall y
on a r egular basis, will r educe the life of the
batteries.
