OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Dangers and Warnings The windshield does not provide protection from tree limbs or flying objects. Fuel 1" Min. (2.5 cm) Ref Ftl 1 BATTERY Fig. 8 Fueling Excessive use of accessories may drain the battery and leave insufficient reserve to start the vehicle. 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 lights) excessively 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 battery 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 pictograms that may appear on the vehicle. Not all pictograms shown in Appendix A will be found on your vehicle. SUN TOP AND WINDSHIELD To prevent damage to the vehicle, do not hold on to sun top struts and stand on body panels. The sun top and windshield provide some protection from the elements; 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. The sun top does not provide protection from roll over or falling objects. Page 6 Owner's Manual and Service Guide
