OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
3-16
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
The vehicle uses a combination starter/generator to both start the
engine and charge the battery. The engine will not idle; therefore, the
battery cannot be charged while the vehicle is stopped. Do not operate
accessory items (such as accessory lights, radios, winch, etc.) exces-
sively while the vehicle is stopped.
The generator is capable of supplying 35 amps; therefore, operation of
all accessories could result in the discharge of the battery even though
the engine is running and the generator operating. Discharging the bat-
tery is known as deep cycling. The battery is not a deep cycle model,
but is a starting battery. Multiple deep cycling will result in the premature
failure of the battery.
If the vehicle battery has become discharged, it must be charged using
a 12 Volt charger that is rated at 10 amps or less and in accordance
with all instructions provided by the manufacturer of the charger.
LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS
Vehicles may be labeled with pictograms as a method of conveying
information or warnings. Appendix A illustrates and explains picto-
grams that may appear on the vehicle. Not all pictograms shown in
Appendix A will be found on your vehicle.
SUN TOP AND WINDSHIELD
The sun top does not provide pro-
tection from roll over or falling
objects.
The windshield does not provide protection from tree limbs
or flying objects.
The sun top and windshield provide some protection from the ele-
ments; however, they will not keep the operator and passenger dry in a
downpour. This vehicle is not equipped with seat belts and the sun top
has not been designed to provide roll over protection. In addition, the
sun top does not protect against falling objects nor does the windshield
protect against flying objects and tree limbs. Keep arms and legs inside
of vehicle while it is moving.
12 VOLT POWER OUTLET
Overuse of accessories may drain
the battery and leave insufficient
reserve to start the vehicle.
A 12 volt power outlet, rated at 15 amps, is located to the left side of the
key/light switch (Ref Fig. 15 on page 3-16). It provides constant power
for accessories equipped with a 12 volt plug.
TOWING A TRAILER
