BATTERY
Heavy use of accessories drains the battery which can leave insufficient reserve to start the vehicle.
The vehicle uses a starter/generator to start the engine and charge the battery. The engine will not idle. The battery does
not charge while the vehicle is stopped. Do not operate lights and other accessory items excessively while the vehicle is
stopped.
The generator can supply 35 amps. Operation of all accessories can cause the discharge of the battery even if the
engine is running and the generator is operating. Discharging the battery is known as deep cycling. The battery is not a
deep cycle model. It is a starting battery. Multiple deep cycling causes early failure of the battery.
If the battery has discharged, charge it with a 12-volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or less and according to instruc-
tions supplied by the manufacturer of the charger.
LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS
The vehicle can have labels with pictograms to provide information or warnings. Refer to the SAFETY section of this
manual for the description of the labels.
SUN TOP AND WINDSHIELD (IF EQUIPPED)
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 heavy rain. This vehicle is not equipped with seat belts and the sun top has not been designed to pro-
vide 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 whenever the vehicle is in motion.
