Storing the Vehicle

  1. Turn key switch to the OFF “0” position.

  2. Press the directional control switch into the NEUTRAL “N” position.

  3. Lock the park brake.

  4. Move service/drive switch to the SERVICE position. (See Using the Service/Drive Switch in the OPERATING Section.)

  5. Help prevent serious injury or death from an electrical shock or electrocution. This utility vehicle is equipped with a 48 volt electrical system which is capable of passing a high voltage electrical current. Always use extreme caution when servicing the battery set in this vehicle.

    Only trained technicians or owners that have knowledge and experience with electrical maintenance should repair or service this vehicle.

    Failure to perform necessary vehicle maintenance could result in damage to the vehicle or severe personal injury or death. Do not operate the vehicle if a problem is detected that could threaten the safety of the operator or the reliability of the vehicle.

    Check the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each vehicle battery.

    • Check the specific gravity of the electrolyte periodically with a hydrometer (A) (See Using Hydrometer in the SERVICE BATTERY Section.) If the specific gravity is being checked, recharge the battery when it reaches 1.220. The times it takes the battery to reach 1.220 specific gravity depends on its condition and the temperature of the environment in which it is stored. The colder the storage area, the slower the battery will self-discharge.
    • While in storage the specific gravity of each vehicle battery should be checked and the batteries charged every 30 days.


  7. Check battery electrolyte levels.

  8. Once fully charged, the on-board battery charger is also a trickle charger to maintain a full charge in all batteries.

    Clean batteries and battery compartment. Replace damaged or defective batteries.

  9. Lower cargo box.

  10. Wash the vehicle.

  11. Lubricate grease points.

  12. Paint scratched and chipped areas to prevent rust.

  13. Store vehicle in an unheated, dry area.
