The vehicle has been designed to operate in a warehouse or factory environment with semi-smooth floors, road and ramps.Be sure you understand the vehicle, its equipment andhow to use it safely. Although the vehicle has beendesigned to provide safe and reliable operation, main-taining good performance depends to a large extent on the operator.Vehicle batteries must be fully charged before initial use. The on board charger is wired directly to the batteries, only requiring it be plugged into a dedicated 15 amp ACoutlet to be operational.

Model Number, Model Year and Serial Number.The vehicle serial number is located under the seat. (RefFig. 3 on page 3)

Hydrogen gas is generat-ed as a natural part of the lead acid battery charg-ing process. A 4% concentration of hydrogen gas is explosive and could cause severe injury or death. Charging must take place in an area that is adequate- ly ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour).To reduce the chance of battery explosion that couldresult in severe injury or death, never smoke around or charge batteries in an area that has open flame or electrical equipment that could cause an electrical arc.

! !

1 Hydrogen gas is generated in the charging cycle of bat-teries and is explosive in concentrations as low as 4%.Because hydrogen gas is lighter than air, it will collect inthe ceiling of buildings necessitating proper ventilation. Five air exchanges per hour is considered the minimumrequirement.Never charge a vehicle in an area that is subject to flameor spark. Pay particular attention to natural gas or pro- pane gas water heaters and furnaces.Before a new vehicle is put into operation, it is recom-mended that the items listed in the INITIAL SERVICECHART be performed (Ref Fig. 1 on page 2).
