NOTICE: Using the winch continuously for more than 2 minutes can drain the battery.
NOTICE: Heavy use of accessories or leaving accessories turned on when the vehicle is not being used can
drain the battery and leave insufficient reserve to start the vehicle.
The vehicle uses a starter/generator to start the engine and charge the battery. The engine does not idle; so the bat-
tery does not charge while the vehicle is stopped. Do not operate lights and other accessory items excessively while
the vehicle is stopped. Turn off all accessories when the vehicle is stopped.
The generator can supply up to 35 amps. Operation of all accessories can cause the discharge of the battery even if
the engine is running and the generator is operating. Discharging the battery is known as deep cycling. The battery is
not a deep cycle model. It is a starting battery. Multiple deep cycling causes early failure of the battery.
If the battery discharges, charge it with a 12-volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or less and according to the instruc-
tions supplied by the manufacturer of the charger.
