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
BEFORE INITIAL USE
Read, understand and follow safety label on the instru-
ment panel. The vehicle has been designed to operate in
a warehouse or factory environment with semi-smooth
floors, road and ramps.
Be sure you understand the vehicle, its equipment and
how to use it safely. Although the vehicle has been
designed to provide safe and reliable operation, main-
taining good performance depends to a large extent on
the operator.
Vehicle batteries must be fully charged before initial use.
Hydrogen gas is generat-
ed as a natural part of the
lead acid battery charg-
ing process. A 4% concentration of hydrogen gas is
explosive and could cause severe injury or death.
Charging must take place in an area that is adequate-
ly ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour).
To reduce the chance of battery explosion that could
result in severe injury or death, never smoke around
or charge batteries in an area that has open flame or
electrical equipment that could cause an electrical
arc.
Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging cycle of bat-
teries and is explosive in concentrations as low as 4%.
Because hydrogen gas is lighter than air, it will collect in
the ceiling of buildings necessitating proper ventilation.
Five air exchanges per hour is considered the minimum
requirement.
Never charge a vehicle in an area that is subject to flame
or spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or pro-
pane gas water heaters and furnaces.
Before a new vehicle is put into operation, it is recom-
mended that the items listed in the INITIAL SERVICE
CHART be performed (Ref Fig. 1 on page 2).
On Board Charger
The on board charger is wired directly to the batteries,
only requiring it be plugged into a dedicated 15 amp AC
outlet to be operational. When charge cycle is complete,
replace cord in appropriate area under cargo deck.
