allowed when properly licensed and plated. Although street legal, the LSV is
not designed for, nor allowed on highways. Refer to your local ordinances

can ride comfortably in this vehicle protected from splashing water and mud.
The Overhead Brush Bar System mounted to the vehicle’s frame provides
protection against low hanging limbs and briars. The Overhead Brush Bar
System also reduces the likelihood of a properly restrained occupant from
being crushed as a result of a vehicle rollover.
The Overhead Brush Bar System also provides mounting for a variety of
accessories including windshields, canopy tops and weather enclosures. For
a complete listing of available accessories, please contact your local dealer or
visit our website at www.americanlandmaster.com.
The cargo bed on your vehicle has been designed to be versatile and durable
for a variety of cargo carrying functions. A standard 2” receiver hitch makes
towing convenient and easy.
Right-hand and left-hand as used in this manual are determined by facing the
direction the vehicle will travel while in use unless otherwise stated.

section 2 safety
• Use extreme caution when descending hills or running on loose
slippery surfaces. Towing, braking, and traction are greatly diminished.
• Do not operate vehicle on 15 degree (26% grade) slopes or steeper.
• Avoid changing direction or making sharp steering corrections on
slopes or rollover may occur.
• If this vehicle begins to tip when crossing a slope, turn the front wheels
downhill to regain stability and control.
• Never allow vehicle to coast or free wheel in neutral or loss of control
may result.
• When crossing a slope on soft terrain, turn the front wheels slightly
uphill and maintain a constant speed to maintain a straight line of travel.
• When descending hills or slopes apply steady pressure to the foot
brake to avoid potential of freewheeling or runaway.
• If your vehicle loses power and stops while climbing a hill, immediately
engage the foot brake and back slowly down the hill maintaining
a straight downhill line of travel. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle
sideways on the hill or a rollover could result.
• When traveling at night always use your headlights and reduce speed
according to visibility, trail, and terrain conditions.
• Avoid water crossings when possible and never cross a body of
water where depth is unknown. Loss of power will occur if the drive
belt becomes submerged or wet. Unnecessary crossing of streams and
waterways erodes shore line and damages water-born habitat. If you
must cross, do it at a point where banks are not steep and proceed at a

BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE
• All batteries will self discharge over time. The rate of self discharge varies
depending on the ambient temperature and the age and condition of the
batteries.
• A fully charged battery will not freeze in winter temperatures unless the
temperature falls below -75° F (-60° C).
• For winter storage, the batteries must be clean, fully charged and
disconnected from any source of electrical drain. Please assure that the
key switch is in the off position for storage.
• As with all electric vehicles, the batteries must be checked and recharged
as required or at a minimum of 30 day intervals.
CHARGE GAUGE
Before operating the 48V, make sure the batteries have a full
charge!
Located on the dash, the charge gauge indicates approximately the state
of charge of the batteries. Far right (as shown) indicates batteries are fully
charged, far left indicates a low charge.
WASHING YOUR VEHICLE
It is acceptable to wash your electric utility vehicle, though a pressure washer
should not be used, and common sense should be exercised. Remember
that some of the electronics in the controller and charging system are
sensitive to water and corrosion. The charger should be protected during
washing by placing a plastic bag or other protection over the top of the
charger before washing. Allow for any water that does get on/in the charger
to dry out before using.
• Do NOT let metal objects fall from the seat onto the top of your
batteries. This may cause a serious power short and possibly a fire.
• Hydrogen gas is generated as a natural part of the lead acid battery
charging process. A 4% concentration of hydrogen gas is explosive and
could cause severe injury or death. Because hydrogen gas is lighter
that air, it will collect in the ceiling of buildings necessitating proper
ventilation. Charging must take place in an area that is adequately
ventilated (minimum of 5 air exchanges per hour).
To reduce the chance of battery explosion that could result in severe
injury or death, never smoke around or charge batteries in an area that
has an open flame or electrical equipment that could cause an electrical
arc. Pay particular attention to natural gas or propane gas water heaters
and furnaces.
• Always wear a safety shield or approved safety goggles when adding
water or charging batteries.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized with a solution of 1/4 cup
(60ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 1/2 gallons (6
liters) of water and flushed with water.
Overfilling batteries may result in electrolyte being expelled from the
battery during the charge cycle. Expelled electrolyte may cause damage
to the vehicle and storage facility.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal protectant must be used with
extreme care. Insulate metal container to prevent can from contacting
battery terminals which could result in an explosion.
• Deep water crossings MUST be avoided.
LIMITED ELECTRIC RUNTIME:
Plan carefully before using this vehicle to go significant distances
over questionable terrain. Remember that a one hour drive may
take many hours to walk out should you run out of battery power
or be stranded by becoming stuck on unsuitable terrain.

2. Place gearshift in neutral.
3. Apply choke fully when engine is cold (carbureted models only).
4. Turn ignition key fully clockwise and hold to start engine (see note
for EFI priming at right).
5. Release ignition key to run position and choke (if applicable) to
normal operating position immediately after engine starts.
6. Release parking brake.
7. Turn ignition key counterclockwise to stop engine.
Driving is as easy as driving a car with an automatic transmission. A simple forward
and reverse shifter provides direction control. Never shift while the vehicle is moving,
as damage to the drive train may occur.
For convenience, some models include a back-up pull-rope starter mechanism on the
engine.
Braking is accomplished by simply releasing the throttle pedal and depressing the
brake pedal that is located on the floorboard left of the accelerator. A lever action
parking brake control is mounted on the center console located between the operator
and passenger seats. Pull up on the lever and depress the button on the park brake
control lever to release the park brake.
Operation of the rear axle differential lock
The rear axle on select models is equipped with a manually operated differential
lock (independent rear suspension models feature an auto locking differential - this
will sense wheel slip and automatically engage the differential lock). It is engaged
(locked) by moving the dash mounted differential lever to the up position. Locking
the differential sends equal power to both rear wheels for better traction. It may be
used in both 2WD and 4WD modes.

This section covers the operation of the gasoline powered 2WD
and 4WD Utility Vehicles.
NOTE - EFI PRIMING
NOTE
EFI equipped vehicles that are being started for the first
time after purchase or have had their fuel tanks refilled
after having run out of fuel will need to have their fuel
systems primed. This is because the EFI unit uses two
fuel pumps. The first is a pulse pump which is operated
by engine rotation drawing fuel from the fuel tank and
supplying the second pump which is electric. The electric
fuel pump pressurizes the fuel and delivers it to the
engine. It operates when the ignition key is placed in
the RUN position. Begin priming the system by turning
the key switch to RUN for one minute. Allow electric fuel
pump to cycle. Turn key switch to START and crank engine
continuously, cycling the pulse fuel pump, until the engine
starts but for not more than 10 seconds should it not
start. Allow a 60 second cool down period and attempt to
start the engine again. (Failure to follow these guidelines
can burn out the starter motor.) This procedure may
need to be repeated as many as 4 times. If after 4 times,
the engine does not start, contact American LandMaster
Customer Service.

Electric Utility Vehicles
Some ASW models are configured as street legal Low Speed Vehicles (LSV).
Low Speed Vehicles may be used on public roads (check local ordinances).
Low Speed Vehicles do NOT have comparable crash protection to a car or
truck. Follow all safety procedures. Avoid roads with considerable traffic.
Avoid driving on public roads at night or in low visibility. Never drink and
drive. Check local laws and ordinances about the use of LSV’s in your area.

MODE SWITCH:
This switch is used for “FAST” mode (M1) with speeds up to 22 mph, or
“SLOW” mode (M2) with speeds up to 10 mph. “SLOW” mode has a
more gentle acceleration and a greater vehicle range. BATTERY GAUGE:
This gauge shows the amount of charge the
batteries have remaining. The more bars
illuminated the more power the batteries have.
LIGHT SWITCH:
This switch turns
the running lights
on or off.
FWD / REV SWITCH:
This switch selects the direction of the vehicle
when the keyswitch is turned to the “RUN”
position. The operator must select the proper
switch position before applying the throttle.
NOTE: When the switch is set to the center
position, the vehicle is in NEUTRAL.

section 3 operation
4WD Operation
Four wheel drive models are equipped with an electronically activated “On
Demand” 4WD system. To engage the 4WD system, simply flip the dash mounted
switch to 4WD. Engagement of the system should always be done with the vehicle
stopped and the engine at idle speed.
This Hilliard™ system is an “On Demand” 4WD system. When rear tire slip is
sensed, an overrunning clutch in the front differential will engage the front wheels.
Note that even though you may be in 4WD, the front wheels may not be engaged
until a demand is placed on them due to loss of traction at the rear wheels.
Because the power transfer is automatic, you may operate the vehicle in 4WD
mode continuously without affecting steering effort or tire wear.
Engine should be at idle before selecting 4WD mode.
Sudden engagement of 4X4 switch under power may
damage the drive train. Failure to do so may void warranty.
CAUTION
NOTE
Locking the differential on paved or hard surfaces may
increase steering effort and tire wear.

OPERATION
• Passengers must be tall enough to comfortably and safely sit in a
passenger seat with the seat belt secured, and with the ability to grasp
the hand hold
• Ensure all passengers are wearing proper protective clothing,
including helmet and eye protection.
• Do not exceed the recommended number of passengers for your
vehicle. See specifications section. Vehicles equipped with the rear
facing flip seat can safely carry an additional (2) passengers.
• All passengers must ride in passenger seats equipped with proper
restraints and safety gear.
• Always slow down. Avoid aggressive maneuvers that will cause
discomfort or injury to a passenger.
a. Operator must use mature judegment, skill and experience to
choose a speed suitable for terrain and riding conditions in
protecting operator, passenger, and/or bystanders.
b. This vehicle is not a passenger car. High-speed turning and failure
to operate the vehicle correctly may cause loss of control, vehicle
rollover and/or possible death or injury to the vehicle occupant(s).
• Handling of the vehicle may change with passengers and/or cargo.
Increase time and distance for braking.
• Read, understand and follow all instructions and warnings in this
manual and on the safety decals located on the utility vehicle.
• Avoid excessively steep hills, and inspect hill for slippery or loose
surfaces before attempting to climb or decend.
• Keep hands and feet and all body parts in the vehicle at all times
• Note that towing, braking and traction are greatly diminished in hill
climbing or descending.
• Keep front wheels straight when climbing and/or cresting and
descending hills
• Do not stop or start suddenly or over accelerate on hills. Loss of
control and rollover could result.
• If the vehicle loses power or traction and stops while climbing a hill,
immediately engage the service brake and back slowly down the hill,
maintaining a straight, downhill line of travel. Attempting to turn the
vehicle could result in a rollover.
• When descending a hill, over application of the service brake may
cause skidding and loss of control. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in
slowing down.
• Avoid driving across hillside slopes whenever possible. Slow down
and exercise extreme caution. Improper driving technique or crossing
an excessively steep grade could result in rollover and injury or death
• Keep hands and feet and all body parts in the vehicle at all times
• Do not cross hills that exceed 15 degrees or 26% grade
• Keep front wheels straight when crossing a hillside. Steep slopes
may require turning the front wheels slightly uphill to maintain a
straight line of travel
• If the vehicle begins to tip while crossing a hillside, immediately turn
the front wheels in the downhill direction to regain stability and control.
• Do not stop or start suddenly or over accelerate on hills. Loss of
control and rollover could result.
• Note that towing, braking, steering function and traction are greatly
diminished when driving on slick or slippery surfaces. Always slow
down and exercise extreme caution.
• Do not operate the vehicle on excessively slick, rough or loose terrain
• Avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle as loss of
control may occur
• Avoid sudden changes in direction as steering control is greatly
diminished when driving on slick or slippery surfaces.
• Increase time and distance for braking.
• Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the
steering wheel in the direction of the skid.
