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
from a local Distributor, an authorized Branch or the Ser-
vice Parts Department.
VEHICLE WITH A DISCHARGED BATTERY
To reduce the possi-
bility of severe inju-
ry or death from
inadvertent motion, do not attempt to ‘jump
start’ a vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with a starter/generator and
does not idle. When starting the engine, the starter/gen-
erator functions as a starter and with the engine running,
it functions as a generator.
With the short running times associated with this kind of
vehicle, the generator is more than adequate to maintain
the battery charge level. The generator is not designed to
charge a discharged battery.
When engine starts, the clutches engage and cause
vehicle to move making ‘jump starting’ both dangerous
and impractical.
If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be
charged using a 12 volt charger that is rated at 10 amps
or less. Read and understand all instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
TRANSPORTING VEHICLE
TOWING
This vehicle is not
designed to be
towed.
It is recommended that the vehicle be moved by placing
the entire vehicle on a trailer, flatbed truck or other suit-
able transport.
NEUTRAL LOCK
To prevent the driven clutch from turning the rear wheels
during service operations, a neutral lock is located on the
direction selector.
To operate:
Turn key switch to ‘OFF’ and lift 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
(Ref Fig. 12 on page 10). Move direction 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 handle fits into the hole in the direction
selector cam.
HAULING
To reduce the possi-
bility of severe injury
or death while trans-
porting vehicle:
Secure the vehicle and contents.
Never ride on vehicle being transported.
Always remove windshield before trans-
porting.
Maximum speed with sun top installed is
50 mph (80 kph).
If the vehicle is to be transported at highway speeds, the
sun top must be removed and the seat bottom secured.
When transporting vehicle below highway speeds, check
for tightness of hardware and cracks in sun top at mount-
ing points. Always remove windshield when transporting.
Always check that the vehicle and contents are ade-
quately secured before transporting. The rated capacity
of the trailer or truck must exceed the weight of the vehi-
