Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Do not smoke near the fuel tank.
Do not refuel near open flame or electrical items which
could produce a spark.
Always handle gasoline in a well ventilated area.
Always wear eye protection to protect against
splashed fuel and fuel vapors.
Always allow adequate space for the expansion of
gasoline. Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space below
bottom of filler neck.
Inspect fuel cap, tank and other components for leaks
or deterioration that could cause a hazardous
condition.
The fuel tank is located under the seat on the passenger
side of the vehicle (Ref. Fig. 8 on page 5). Fill the tank with
fresh, clean, automotive grade gasoline (Ref. Fig. 39 on
page 22). High altitude or heavy use/load applications may
benefit from higher octane gasoline.
Do not use gasoline which contains Methanol.
Some fuels, called oxygenated or
reformulated gasoline, are gasoline blended
with alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of
these blends can damage the fuel system or cause performance problems.
If any undesirable operating symptoms occur, use gasoline with a lower
percentage of alcohol or ether.
BATTERY
Excessive use of accessories may drain
the battery and leave insufficient reserve
to start the vehicle.
The vehicle uses a combination starter/generator to both
start the engine and charge the battery. The engine will not
idle; therefore, the battery cannot be charged while the
vehicle is stopped. Do not operate accessory items (such as
accessory lights, radios, winch, etc.) excessively while the
vehicle is stopped.
The generator is capable of supplying 35 amps; therefore,
operation of all accessories could result in the discharge of
the battery even though the engine is running and the
generator operating. Discharging the battery is known as
deep cycling. The battery is not a deep cycle model, but is a
starting battery. Multiple deep cycling will result in the
premature failure of the battery.
If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be
charged using a 12 Volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or
less and in accordance with all instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS
Vehicles may be labeled with pictograms as a method of
conveying information or warnings. Appendix A illustrates
and explains pictograms that may appear on the vehicle.
Not all pictograms shown in Appendix A will be found on
your vehicle.
SUN TOP AND WINDSHIELD
The sun top does not
provide protection from roll
over or falling objects.
The windshield does not provide protection from tree
limbs or flying objects.
The sun top and windshield provide some protection from
the elements; however, they will not keep the operator and
passenger dry in a downpour. This vehicle is not equipped
with seat belts and the sun top has not been designed to
provide roll over protection. In addition, the sun top does not
protect against falling objects nor does the windshield
protect against flying objects and tree limbs. Keep arms and
legs inside of vehicle while it is moving.
