Owner’s Manual
VEHICLE WITH A DISCHARGED BATTERY
To decrease the risk of severe injury or death from accidental movement, do not use jumper
cables to start the vehicle.
The vehicle has a starter/generator and does not idle. When you start the engine, the starter/generator functions as a
starter and with the engine running, it functions as a generator.
The generator can keep the battery charged with the short run times with this type of vehicle. The generator will not
charge a discharged battery.
When the engine starts, the clutches engage and cause the vehicle to move making ‘jump starting’ both dangerous and
impractical.
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.
TRANSPORTING VEHICLE
Towing
Do not ride or allow other people on the vehicle being towed.
DO NOT try to tow the vehicle with ropes, chains or any device other than a tow bar approved by
the factory.
DO NOT tow a single vehicle at speeds in excess of 12 mph (19 kph).
DO NOT exceed 5 mph (8 kph) while towing multiple vehicles.
DO NOT tow more than three vehicles at a time.
Do not tow the vehicle on highways.
Neutral Lock
To prevent the driven clutch from turning the rear wheels during
service operations, a neutral lock is located on the direction selec-
tor.
To operate: Turn key switch to OFF and lift the seat. Pull out and
rotate the neutral lock pin handle so that the pointed portion of the
handle is to the side of the direction selector cam. Move the direc-
tion selector towards the area between F and R. During that
motion, the pin will snap into the hole in the direction selector
mounting bracket preventing any movement.
When in this position, the direction selector remains locked in the
neutral position. To unlock the direction selector, pull the neutral
lock pin handle out and rotate until the pointed portion of the han-
dle fits into the hole in the direction selector cam.
