OPERATING PROCEDURES Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers. Portable chargers are shipped with the vehicles. Prior to vehicle or charger operation, the charger must be removed and mounted on a platform or wall above the ground to permit maximum air flow around and underneath the charger. A dedicated circuit is required for the charger. Refer to the charger manual for appropriate circuit protection. For optimum performance and shortest charge times, place the charger in an area with adequate ventilation. The charger should also be placed in an area that will be relatively free of dirt, mud, or dust since accumulations within the fins of the charger will reduce their heat-dissipating qualities. Optimal cooling also occurs when the charger is placed on a horizontal surface with the fins vertical. More airflow from below the charger will help cool the fins, so placement above open areas or areas with cut-outs for airflow is desirable. If the charger is operated in an outdoor location, rain and sun protection must be provided. The charger may get hot during operation and must be placed such that risk of contact by people is reduced. The charger may be mounted on a wall or shelf using #10-M5 screws. The charger's status display must be visible to the user.

The DC plug can be damaged by driving over or catching the cord on the vehicle when driving away. An ungrounded electrical device may become a physical hazard that could result in an electrical shock or electrocution. Owner's Guide Page 29
