SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or

death from improper servicing techniques:

Do not attempt any type of servicing opera-

tions before reading and understanding all

notes, cautions and warnings in this manu-

al.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be

made to the powertrain while the motor is

running must be made with both drive

wheels raised and vehicle properly support-

ed on jack stands.
To reduce the possibility of motor damage,

never operate vehicle at full throttle for more

than 4 - 5 seconds while vehicle is in a ‘no

load’ condition.

Wear eye protection when work-

ing on the vehicle. Use extra care

when working around batteries,

or using solvents or compressed

air.

To reduce the possibility of causing an elec-

trical arc, which could result in a battery

explosion, turn off all electrical loads from

the battery before removing battery wires.

Wrap wrenches with vinyl

tape to reduce the possi-

bility of a dropped wrench ‘shorting out’ a

battery, which could result in an explosion.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solu-

tion which can cause severe burns to the

skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte spills to

the body and eyes with extended flushing

with clear water. Contact a physician imme-

diately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized

with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sodi-

um bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1

quart (1 liters) of water and flushed with

water.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal pro-

tectant must be used with extreme care.

Insulate metal container to reduce the pos-

sibility of can contacting battery terminals

which could result in an explosion.

It is in the best interest of both vehicle owner and service
technician, to carefully follow the procedures recom-
mended in this manual. Preventative maintenance,
applied at recommended intervals, is the best guarantee
for keeping the vehicle both dependable and economical.

Before any electrical service is performed on PDS model
vehicles, the ‘Run-Tow/Maintenance’ switch must be
placed in the ‘Tow/Maintenance’ position.

If a power wire (battery, motor or controller) is dis-
connected for any reason on the PDS model vehicle,
the ‘Run-Tow/Maintenance’ switch must be left in the
‘Tow/Maintenance’ position for at least 30 seconds
after the circuit is restored.

This vehicle will give years of satisfactory service, provid-
ing it receives regular maintenance. Refer to the Periodic
Service Schedule for appropriate service intervals (Ref
Fig. 19 on page 16). Refer to Lubrication Points for
appropriate lubrication locations (Ref Fig. 22 on page
19).

To prolong vehicle life, some maintenance items must be
serviced more frequently on vehicles used under severe
driving conditions such as extreme temperatures,
extreme dust/debris conditions, frequent use with maxi-
mum load.
