SAFETY
Safety
Please read this manual carefully and completely before
operating this FUV. Do not attempt to operate this FUV
until you have attained adequate knowledge of its
controls and operating features, and until you have been
trained in safe and proper riding techniques.
Regular inspections and proper maintenance, along with
good riding skills, help you safely enjoy your FUV.
Disregarding the aforementioned, however, may render
the warranty invalid.
Failure to follow recommended precautions and procedures
could result in severe injury or death. Always heed all safety
precautions and follow all operation, inspection and
maintenance procedures outlined in this Owner's Manual.
High Voltage Safety
Information
DANGER: Exposure to high voltage can
cause shock, burns, and even death. The
high voltage components in the vehicle
can only be serviced by Arcimoto
authorized service technicians. High
voltage components are identified by
labels. Do not remove, open, take apart, or
modify these components.
High voltage cable or wiring has orange
covering or labels. Do not touch, probe,
tamper with, cut, or modify high voltage
cable or wiring.
This vehicle has two non-serviceable high voltage battery
modules, and a standard 12V battery.
If the FUV is in a crash, the sensing system may shut down
the high voltage system. When this occurs, the high

page 16 FUV Owner's Manual (REV 0) • last revised:3/31/2022 • part# 006290 • docID: P10001
voltage battery modules are disconnected and the vehicle
will not start.
A system warning message is shown on the Display.
Before the vehicle can be operated again, it must be
serviced by a trained Arcimoto technician.
Damage to the high voltage battery modules or high voltage
system can create a risk of electric shock, overheating, or fire.
If the FUV is damaged from a moderate to severe crash, flood,
fire, or other event, the vehicle should be inspected as soon as
possible. Until the vehicle has been inspected, store it outside at
least 50 ft (15 m) from any structure or flammable objects.
Contact Arcimoto Product Support at [phone] as soon
as possible to determine whether an inspection is needed.
Refer to page 183 for first responder information.
Only a trained Arcimoto service technician with the
proper knowledge and tools should inspect, test, or
replace the high voltage battery modules.
Contact Arcimoto Product Support at [phone] if
the high voltage battery modules or 12V battery needs
service.
Electrical System
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the FUV. Do not
attempt to access internal components under any
circumstance. If you remove components from the FUV or
attempt to modify or repair any parts on the FUV, you
may put yourself in danger and void the FUV’s warranty.
If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding the
electrical system in your FUV, contact Arcimoto Product
Support at [phone].
SAFETY

SAFETY
DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DANGER: DONOT modify components in
the FUV's electrical traction system or
touch damaged components - doing so
may result in serious injury or death. Note
that the components in the FUV's
electrical traction system may be
damaged in an accident, although the
damage is not visible.
Disassembling, removing or replacing
electrical components, cables or
connectors can cause severe burns or
electric shock that may result in serious
injury or death.
Cables that carry a potential arc-flash risk
are colored orange for easy identification.
There is a risk of fatal injury.
Batteries
Two non- serviceable high voltage battery modules are
located within the Battery Bay (in the lower portion of the
chassis).
These battery modules require no owner maintenance
and have no parts that an owner or a non- Arcimoto
authorized service technician can service.
DANGER: DONOT open the Battery Bay
or touch the Battery Modules or any
internal components. Doing so exposes
you to potential arc- flash risk,
electrocution, and voids the warranty.
There is a risk of fatal injury.
The FUValso uses a standard 12V battery.
If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding the
Batteries in your FUV, contact Arcimoto Product Support
at [phone].

Battery Management System (BMS)
The FUV uses a Battery Management System (BMS) to
monitor the condition of the HV Batteries, and optimize
Battery performance, range, and life.
The BMS safeguards the HV Batteries by means of safety
interlocks. These interlocks turn off or control certain
operations that could damage the power pack. The BMS
also monitors the HV Batteries for a host of predefined
conditions, and then takes appropriate action.
Front Access Panel
The Front Access Panel can be removed to access the
windshield wiper fluid remote fill neck (see page 138).
However, be aware that there are several high- voltage
components behind the Front Access Panel. These
include inverters and high-voltage cables and connectors.
All high-voltage components are protected by a plastic
safety screen. However, it is important to exercise caution
any time the Front Access Panel is removed.
DANGER: DONOT reach behind the
plastic safety screen. There are no user-
serviceable parts, and doing so exposes
you to potential arc- flash risk,
electrocution, and voids the warranty.
There is a risk of fatal injury.
