Maintenance Instructions
Routine Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance or repair work
on the vehicle, isolate the batteries from the motor
and electronics by removing the 10-amp fuse. (Figure
10) When finished, replace the fuse .

of the electrical system. They are

(with fuse) and (4) batteries.
Batteries
The standard batteries used in the Pack Mule are
lead acid, 6-volt, deep cycle, golf-cart style. Other
battery types are available.
Always observe the following warnings when
working on or near batteries:
Keep all smoking materials, open flames, or sparks
away from batteries. Any flame or spark might cause
an explosion.
Do not charge batteries in areas without adequate
ventilation. Small concentrations of hydrogen gas
are enough to cause an explosion.
Make sure that the key or rocker switch is in the
“Off” position, all electrical accessories are off, and
the circuit breaker is in the open position (Figure 12)
before working on the vehicle.
The electrolyte in a lead acid battery is an acid
solution that can cause severe burns to the skin and
eyes. If you come into contact with the electrolyte,
flush the area with plenty of clear water and contact
a physician immediately.
Always use properly insulated tools when working
on electric vehicles. Properly insulated tools will
help to prevent electrical shock that can result in
equipment damage, severe personal injury or even
death.

moved before performing any maintenance or repair work
on the electrical system.
