AFETY

Driving Downhill

Inspect the terrain before descending a hill. Avoid driving across hills. Use the brake to limit speed and maintain con-
trol. Loss of vehicle control or rollover can result from driving downhill incorrectly. Refer to

Driving Downhill

on page 22

for operational information.

Stalling on a Hill

A rollover can result from stalling or rolling backward while climbing a hill. Drive uphill at a constant speed. See proce-
dure on page 22 for maintaining control of your vehicle if it stalls on a hill.

Tires

Operating the vehicle with incorrect tires or with incorrect or uneven tire pressure can cause loss of control or an acci-
dent. Always use the size and type tires specified for the vehicle. See

VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS

on page 53.

Always maintain correct tire pressures as specified in

Tire Pressure

on page 7.

Slippery Terrain

Driving on rough, wet or loose terrain increases the risk of loss of traction or control, accident or rollover. Drive slowly
and use correct turning procedures when operating on slippery surfaces.
Tires that have lost traction, and then regain traction suddenly, can cause loss of vehicle control or rollover.
Refer to

Slippery Surfaces

on page 21 for operational information.

BATTERY CHARGING

Charging should be performed when ambient temperatures are between 40°F and 110°F (4°C and 42°C). The battery
pack may be charged or topped off after every use.
The battery management system (BMS) and charger cooperate to make sure that charging occurs at the proper rate
for the battery temperature. When the battery charger is connected to the vehicle, it will determine the charge rate
based on the battery temperature. The charger will operate at the rates shown in the table below.

The BMS will adjust the charge rate based on the temperature of the batteries.
Use only the OEM approved Lithium-Ion battery charger for your vehicle. See charger operating instructions in Appen-
dix A.
• Turn the key to the OFF position and remove it.
• Inspect the charger cord for cracks, frayed wires or loose connections, if damaged, replace it.
• Inspect the vehicle charger receptacle and charger plug for dirt, debris or damage. Clean if necessary and replace

immediately if damage is found.

• Connect the charger to a wall receptacle. Do not use a multi-plug adapter or power strip. Do not connect anything

else to the same receptacle.

• Connect the charger to the vehicle receptacle.
• When the battery pack is finished charging, disconnect the charger cord from the vehicle. If disconnecting before

the charge cycle is complete, it is recommended that the charger be disconnected from the wall receptacle first,
then unplug the charger from the vehicle receptacle.

VEHICLE LIFTING

The vehicle must be on a firm and level surface for lifting. Remain constantly aware that the vehicle is not stable
during the lifting process. Do not get under a vehicle until you verify that it is stable on the jack stands. Never get
under a vehicle while it is on a jack only. Put wheel chocks in front and behind the wheels that are not being lifted. Do
not allow anyone to remain or get on the vehicle at any time during the lifting process.
Read and comply with all warnings and follow the lifting procedures described on page 30.
