Starting the Vehicle
•Place foot on the brake pedal.
•Turn the key to the on position.
•Look at instrument panel and make sure the unit is in neutral, if not move the shifter to the neutral position.
•With foot still on brake turn the key to the start position.
•Before applying the gas make sure emergency brake is released.
(If it’s not the engine will loop or miss.)
Driving the Vehicle
•With foot on brake, shift to the desired gear.
–Low range only when transporting a patient, carrying more that two passengers, traveling up and down hills,
carrying more than 500lbs of equipment.
–High range only when on flat open road or path, carrying two or less people, carrying less than 500 lbs of
equipment, or not towing.
*NOTICE* - VEHICLE MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO SHIFT GEARS
FROM:
•LOW TO HIGH
•HIGH TO LOW
•LOW TO NEUTRAL
•NEUTRAL TO REVERSE
•REVERSE TO NEUTRAL
Catastrophic failure will result if shifting while moving
–Six wheel drive can be engaged and disengaged while moving (on the fly) or while sitting still.

Electrical –Deep Cycle Battery, On Board Charger, Master Switch, Battery Brain (Electrical Load
Manager).
•Deep Cycle Battery –Runs all 12 volt lighting (interior, emergency, scene), windshield wiper, A/C control
panel, 12 volt outlet in rear compartment, generator starter, dash mounted defroster fan and under dash
heater fan. (Deep Cycle Battery is located under the bottom seat cushion under the driver).
•On-Board Charger –Charges the deep cycle battery and the Polaris battery in two ways:
When the unit is plugged into the shoreline connection via an extension cord.
or
When you start the on board generator (If your unit is equipped with a generator)
The shoreline connection should be used anytime 110 volt power is available. The unit
should be plugged into a 110 volt outlet daily when the unit is not in use, to make sure the
batteries are always charged.
**Note** The shoreline should not be connected while the generator is being started or is
running.

Electrical Continued-
•Master Switch - Located near the driver on the seat riser wall. (Fig. 5)
•This switch connects and disconnects all of the deep cycle battery circuits.
•This switch should be turned off when the unit is not going to be used for the rest of the day or for a long
period.
–
•Battery Brain –is an electrical load manager for the deep cycle battery system to prevent the battery from discharging
below 10.5 volts.
•Without Reset Button- When the battery brain senses low voltage (below 10.5 volts) in the deep cycle
battery the following happens:
–The green battery status light will not be illumimated when the ignition key is in the “on” position
because the battery brain has kicked out.
–All power to the items connected to the deep cycle battery are nonoperational.
•With Reset Button- Whenthe battery brain senses low voltage (below 10.5 volts) in the deep cycle battery
the following happens:
–The green battery status light will not be illumimated when the ignition key is in the “on” position
because the battery brain has kicked out.
–All power to the items connected to the deep cycle battery are nonoperational.
–The green light on the dash has gone out indicating that the battery is below 10.5 volts and needs to be
charged.
–At this point you need to either plug the unit in via the shoreline connection using an extension cord or start the
generator (if equipped).
•After one of charging methods has been started, as soon as the battery gets at least 12.0 volts back into it the
battery, the battery brain will automatically reset giving you full power back..
•But remember if you have drawn the deep cycle battery down that far, it will need to be charge for awhile to get
the battery fully charged back up again
•(It may take up to 8 hours to recharge)

Generator Operation
•The generator is mounted under the frame in the rear of the unit.
•There is an access door to the generator located in the center of the rear step/bumper.
•There is a remote start switch (with hour meter) located in the cab, on the dash below the steering wheel.
This switch starts and stops the generator.
•The generator can also be started and stopped from a switch located on the generator behind the access
door.
• When the generator is running it’s supplying power to the on-board battery charger, to the 110 volt outlets, to
the A\C unit and to any 110 volt lighting that may be on the vehicle.
•The generator is gasoline powered and is supplied by gasoline from the Polaris gas tank. The generator
gasoline supply line is attached approximately three inches up from the bottom of the tank so when the
generator runs out of gas there is still gas left for the vehicle to be driven from the scene.
The generator will run only on the gas that occupies the top three quarters of the tank.
It will run out of gas with approximately a quarter of a tank of gas left in the tank.
(So if the generator will not start and you have around a quarter of a tank of gas showing on the gas gage
you will need the add gas in order to run the generator).
It will not run if the oil level is low or if it is close to being low.
Due to the splashing effect in the oil pan if the oil is close to being low it may give it a false reading and act
up. (May shut off for no reason while driving)
•It is recommended to use a gas additive like Sta-Bil or Sea Foam to keep the gas from getting old. This will
prevent carburetor problems with the generator
For further information please see the generator’s owners manual
