Battery Discharge Indicator and Hour Meter Gauge
The combination battery discharge indicator and hour
meter gauge is located on the dash panel (Fig. 19).
The batteryindicator identifies stateof chargeof thebat-
terypack. Thebattery indicatorreads full(10 bars)when
the battery pack is fully charged (approximately 51
volts). As battery pack voltage decreases with vehicle
use, fewer battery indicator bars are shown.
When the battery indicator reaches 2 bars, a warning
light illuminates and a battery icon flashes on the gauge
faceto identifythatbattery chargelevel is extremelylow.
At this point, the batteries should be charged.
If the battery indicator reaches 1 bar, the warning light
begins flashing and the vehicle will go into an energy
saving mode: vehicle speed will be reduced to 3 MPH.
At this point, the batteries should be charged to prevent
serious battery damage.
The hour meter registers operating time of the vehicle.
Whenever the vehicle is in motion, the hour meter
should increase one tenth every six (6) minutes of op-
eration. If the vehicle remains stationary for thirty (30)
seconds (evenif the on/offswitch isON), the hourmeter
quits increasing.
The back of the gaugeis shown inFigure 20. Awire har-
ness connector plugs into thegauge. Terminals 1, 2 and
5 are not used on the Workman MDE. See Chapter 6 --
Electrical Diagrams for schematic and wire harness in-
formation.
