TOW/RUN SWITCH
WARNING
• Place Tow/Run switch in the TOW position before disconnecting or connecting the batteries. Failure to
heed this warning could result in a battery explosion or severe personal injury.
• When the Tow/Run switch is in the TOW position, all motor braking functions, including walk away braking,
are disabled.
Electric vehicles are equipped with a Tow/Run switch, located under the seat between the batteries (Figure 13) or (Figure
14). The switch must be in the RUN position in order to operate the vehicle. When the switch is in the TOW position, power
to the vehicle electrical components is turned off and the vehicle will not operate. See following NOTE.
NOTE: After placing the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position, allow 10 seconds to elapse before switching back to the
RUN position.
After placing the Tow/Run switch in the RUN position, allow 10 seconds to elapse before operating the vehicle.
The Tow/Run switch should be placed in the TOW position under the following conditions:
• Before Towing the Vehicle: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to disable all motor braking functions, thus
preventing possible damage that could occur to the vehicle or electrical components if the vehicle is towed while the walk
away braking motor braking function is operating.
• Before Disconnecting or Connecting Battery Cables: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to turn off power
to the vehicle electrical system, thus preventing severe arcing and possible battery explosion as the battery cables are
disconnected.
• For Long Term Storage: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to turn off power to the vehicle electrical system,
thus preventing vehicle electrical components from discharging the batteries.
