OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION

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
formance problems. If any undesirable operating symp-
toms 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 lights) excessively while the vehicle is stopped.
The generator is capable of supplying 35 amps; there-
fore, operation of all accessories could result in the dis-
charge 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 illus-
trates 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 protec-
tion from roll over or
falling objects.
The windshield does not provide protection
from tree limbs or flying objects.
To prevent damage to the vehi-
cle, do not hold on to sun top
struts and stand on body panels.
The sun top and windshield provide some protection
from the elements; however, they will not keep the opera-
tor 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.
TOWING A TRAILER
The vehicle is equipped with a receiver that can be fitted
with a standard 1 7/8" ball. The trailer and its load must
not exceed 500 lbs (227 kg) and no more than 50 lbs (23
kg) tongue weight may be attached to the hitch. Remem-
ber that the overall capacity of the vehicle, operator, pas-
senger, contents of load bed and accessories must be
reduced to compensate for the trailer and load.
The range of motion of the trailer is limited by the ball and
hitch. The trailer should not be used on rough trails or
over objects such as logs, large rocks, holes, etc.
Never install baskets or extensions using the hitch
receivers (front or rear). Such items will change the per-
formance characteristics of vehicle and result in unsafe
handling, possible roll over or vehicle damage.
