PRE-DELIVERY SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

CHECKLIST

 Check engine/transmission oil

 Check tire inflation pressure

 Check wheel lug nut torque

 Install left-side foot restraint

 Install ROPS/seat belts/side restraints

 Check cooling system — level and hoses

 Install steering wheel

 Check/adjust front wheel alignment

 Check hydraulic brake fluid level — pedal firmness

 Burnish the brake pads

NOTE: Read these instructions thoroughly before
starting the Pre-Delivery Setup.

Even though the vehicle has been set up (with some
minor exceptions) and inspected at the factory, it is
mandatory that EVERY vehicle be properly inspected
and serviced at the dealership prior to being released to
the customer. Experience has shown that dealerships
that properly prepare each vehicle have fewer warranty
problems and more satisfied customers.

RECOMMENDED TOOLS

The following tools will assist the technician during the
set-up process:

• Drill w/Torx Bits

• Impact Wrench

• Metric Socket Set

• Torque Wrench

BATTERY

NOTE: Refer to all warnings and cautions pro­vided with the battery or battery charger.

This ROV is shipped with a sealed battery. The battery
requires an initial charge after activation as well as periodic
maintenance-charging during periods of non-use or storage.

Activating Battery

Always activate and maintain the battery in accordance
with the following instructions to ensure maximum ser­vice life and performance from the battery.

 Check gear case lubricant

 Check shift lever for proper operation

 Check headlight aim

 Check gasoline level

 Start engine and check electrical switches and lights

 Test drive

 Check decals/clean vehicle

 Explain Operator’s Manual, Limited Warranty, and

legal obligations to the customer

 Complete Owner Registration form with the customer

on the date of the sale

Each sealed battery comes with an electrolyte container and
proper amount for each specific battery type. DO NOT add
additional electrolyte to any sealed battery. Sealed battery
electrolyte has a higher concentration of sulfuric acid.

1. Carefully remove and save the sealing strip from the
battery electrolyte container. This will be used to seal
the battery later.

2. Remove and discard the foil sealing strip covering
the fill holes from the battery.

3. Place electrolyte container with the foil-sealed top of
the cells facing down into the fill ports of the battery.

4. Hold the container level in the fill ports of the bat­tery. Push down to break the seals. Air bubbles will
appear as the ports fill. Do not tilt the electrolyte con­tainer. Do not remove the container from the battery
until all cells are completely empty.

5. Let the battery stand for 120 minutes (2 Hr) prior to
charging. This will allow the electrolyte to permeate
into the plates for optimum performance.

6. Fully insert the sealing strip over the fill holes by
hand. DO NOT use a hammer.

7. Charge the battery completely before installation.

Charging New Battery

NOTE: Batteries filled with electrolyte are only at
80% of their capacity.

Batteries can be charged two ways - Standard Charge and
Fast Charge. Standard charging is the only recommended
way to charge a battery. It gives the battery optimal per­formance and battery life.

1. Be sure the charger is unplugged from the 110-volt
electrical outlet.

1

2. Connect the red terminal lead from the charger to the
positive terminal of the battery; then connect the
black terminal lead of the charger to the negative ter­minal of the battery.

3. Plug the charger into a 110-volt electrical outlet.

4. Charge the battery for a minimum of five full hours
at a rate of 10% of the battery amp-hour rating for
optimal battery performance and battery life (ex: 30
AH battery should be charged at 3.0 amps).

NOTE: If the battery becomes hot to the touch,
stop charging. Resume after it has cooled.

5. Once the battery has reached full charge (typically

13.5 volts), unplug the charger from the 110-volt
electrical outlet and disconnect the charging leads.

6. Allow the battery to sit for 2 hours before installing
in the vehicle.

Installing Battery

NOTE: The battery box is under the seat on the
operator’s side. To access the box, remove the
seat and pry off the battery compartment cover;
then remove the thumb screw securing the battery
box cover and lift the cover to access the battery.

PR942

NOTE: Loss of battery charge may be caused by
ambient temperature, ignition OFF current draw,
corroded terminals, self-discharge, or other fac­tors. Maintenance charging is required to keep the
battery at a “fully-charged” state.

TIRES

This vehicle is equipped with low-pressure tubeless
tires. Do not under any circumstances substitute tires of
a different type or size.

TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE

! WARNING

Operating this vehicle with improper or uneven tire
inflation pressure is hazardous. Always maintain
proper tire inflation pressure.

Front and rear tire inflation pressure should be 138 kPa
(20.0 psi).

A low-pressure gauge is provided in the tool kit to mea­sure the air pressure in the tires. Check the air pressure
in all tires before use of the vehicle.

PR943A

1. Route the battery cables into the battery compartment.

2. Install the battery; then connect the battery cables
(positive cable first) as shown. Tighten securely.

TC019

NOTE: When installing the battery into a vehicle,
coat the battery terminals with a light coat of
grease to minimize battery terminal corrosion and
then cover with the terminal boot if provided.

WHEEL LUG NUTS

Using a crisscross pattern, tighten the wheel nuts in 27 N­m (20 ft-lb) increments to the final torque shown below.

Steel Wheel 54 N-m (40 ft-lb)
Aluminum Wheel (Black Nuts) 80 N-m (60 ft-lb)
Aluminum Wheel (Chrome Nuts) 108 N-m (80 ft-lb)

PR941A

CAUTION

Using an impact wrench could result in incorrect
torque which could damage the wheel or hub studs.

INSTALLING LEFT-SIDE FOOT RESTRAINT

1. Remove the left-side foot restraint from the package
containing the side restraints.

2. Remove two sheet metal screws from the dashboard
attachment location and the second and third floor
retainer screws.

INSTALLING ROPS/SEAT BELTS/ SIDE RESTRAINTS

! WARNING

The ROPS must be installed prior to operating the

vehicle or delivery to a customer. Safety devices such
as taillight/brakelight, seat belts, and the passenger
hand holds are incorporated in the assembly. The
ROPS is part of the vehicle structure.

NOTE: The screws securing the front and rear
tubes during delivery will be used to secure the
ROPS tubes. There are nuts that secure the back
side of the ROPS tubes for shipping; these nuts
should be removed and discarded.

1. Loosen the Allen Head Screws securing the front
and rear ROPS tubes; then tip the front and rear
ROPS tubes from horizontal to vertical.

5. Secure the restraint and the dashboard with the
channel bracket (from the hardware pack) and two
sheet metal screws. Do not over-tighten.

2. Raise the cargo box; then while holding the rear
ROPS, remove the screws securing the ROPS.
Loosely secure the ROPS in the correct position
using Allen Head Screws and new Nyloc Nuts. Do
not tighten at this time. Repeat for the front ROPS.

3. Place the Top X-brace into position between the
front and rear tubes and secure with eight Cap
Screws (installed from the top) and eight Zinc
Nyloc Nuts. Tighten to 47 N-m (35 ft-lb).
