BATTERIES - ELECTRIC VEHICLES
See General Warnings on page 7.
DANGER
• Battery - Explosive gases! Do not smoke. Keep sparks and flames away from the vehicle and service area.
Ventilate when charging or operating vehicle in an enclosed area. Wear a full face shield and rubber gloves
when working on or near batteries.
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area only. Batteries emit hydrogen while being charged. Hydrogen is
an explosive gas and must never exceed a level of 2% of the air.
• Battery - Poison! Contains acid! Causes severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Antidotes:
- External: Flush with water. Call a physician immediately.

WARNING
• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle or battery charger. Wear a full
face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
• Use insulated tools when working near batteries or electrical connections. Use extreme caution to avoid
shorting of components or wiring.
CAUTION
• On all vehicles, turn off all accessories before charging batteries.
NOTE: Recycle or dispose of discarded batteries in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
Electric vehicles use deep-cycle batteries. Automotive batteries should never be used in electric vehicles.
New batteries will not deliver their full capabilities until they have been discharged and recharged 20 to 50 times. To obtain
the maximum service life from new batteries, restrict electric vehicles with new batteries to 36 holes of use between charges
in the first two months of operation. Batteries should be fully charged before first use of new vehicle, before first use of a
vehicle after storage, and before releasing vehicle for use each day.
