Using the Machine
1. Turn ON the switch. The indicator panelwill illuminate from 1 to 10 bars indicating the
charge status of the battery. If the indicator is flashing or rippling up and down, refer to the
SELF HELP GUIDE.
Image 1: Functions of the Hand Control Unit
2. Set the maximum speed with the control marked SPEED SET (anticlockwise for minimum
speed, clockwise for maximum speed), and then pull back on the RHS throttle lever to go
forward, and the LHS lever to go backwards. The further the lever is moved in either
direction, the faster the machine will travel, up to its pre-set maximum speed.

3. If driving upwards on a steep slope at low pre-set speed settings, the SPEEDSET control
may need to be increased to provide sufficient torque to climb the slope. Remember to
reset the SPEED SET control when resumingflat ground or downhill use.
4. To stop, just release the lever. It is spring loaded to return to the rest position. The machine
will slow to a stop and then the brake will lock to preventfurther unwanted movement,
particularly useful if operating on a slope. The machine will travel up to 2 metres before
stopping, dependant on operating speed and slope angle. Ensure this is considered when
desiring to stop.
5. If it is necessary to manually move the machine, the power switch must be in the OFF
position and the brake lever in the Freewheel position. The brake lever is located under the
front left-hand side of the machine.
Care must be taken if it is required to place the brake in the FREEWHEEL position when on
a significant slope as the machine will no longer be controlled by the brake lock system.
6. Do not allow the machine to pass through pools of water thatexceed 50mmdepth. Water
damage will not be covered by warranty.

7. Provision is made to disconnect the battery pack from the drive system in the event of an
emergency or where it is necessary to carry out maintenance. A red connector with pull
handle is located on the left side of the battery tray. Pull sharply on the handle disengage
the connector.

The machine is equipped with a state-of-the-art transaxle incorporating integral differential
for superb manoeuvrability, as well as an automated braking system. The power available will
allow the machine to operate on slopes of up to 30 degrees and the advanced electronic
controller provides continuously variable speed, both in the forward and reverse direction.
Internal monitoring functions of the controller provide a visual indication of battery condition
and of any abnormal conditions that may be experienced (refer to the SELF HELP GUIDE).
A battery diagnostics connection list is provided for analysis of potential battery related
problems.

Status Display
The status indicator panel will normally be in the steady condition, indicatingbattery status (10
lights = battery fully charged, down to 1 light = battery discharged). In the event that the lights
on the indicator panel are flashing, an abnormaloperating condition or fault is indicated (refer
to the SELF HELP GUIDE).
condition, the power must be switched OFF
and then back ON again after an abnormal condition has been detected.
The most common causes of aflashing/rippling indicator are:
(a) A rippling up and down of the indicator is because the throttle was not at rest when the
power was switched on, or throttle was moved immediately the unit is switched on. In
either case, release the throttle and the indicator should return to thesteady state.
(b) A rippling upwards only indicates the battery charger is still connected. Disconnect
battery charger.
(c) Nine bars flashing indicates the DRIVE/FREEWHEEL release lever is in the freewheel
position. Thelever is at the drive endof the trolley, left hand side. Place the lever in the
(d) The status displayprovides a quasi-battery capacity indication. The readingis only valid
after running the machine for about 10 seconds. Operation is along the line of a fuel
gauge. Indications other than all bars illuminated at the start of operation means the
batteries require some additional charging.
Experience gained in use of the machine will provide the operator with a good idea of
how far the machine willcontinue to operate for a given charge state indication.

Fault Finding
If the statusindicator lights are flashing, refer tothe SELF HELP GUIDE. Where this does not
assist in resolving the difficulty encountered, contact your supplier for assistance.
Battery Care
The batteries are fully sealed anddo not require any maintenance.
The batteries must be charged after each period of use, regardless of the battery status
indication.
Overnight charging (minimum of 8 hours) will provide 2-4 hours of motor running time on firm
surfaces. Remember we are referring to actual motor run time. This represents a travel
distance of 6-8 kilometres.
The charger is designed to be left on for extended periods. It is fully automatic in operation and
no damage can be done by leaving it on for extended periods.

Operator Maintenance
1. Follow charging recommendations to maximise battery life. This information is with the
battery charger instructions.
(DAILY)
2. Manipulate the brake lever from DRIVE to FREEWHEEL position. If it does not move freely
from one position to the other, refer to Technical Maintenance section.
(DAILY)
3. Tyre pressures should be maintained at between 20PSI (140KPa) and 25 PSI (175KPa)
(WEEKLY)
4. Check connections periodically, (visual check only). Do not manipulate or disturb. Pay
particular attentionto signs of insulation damage on wiring cables.
(WEEKLY)
Technical Maintenance
It is recommended that asuitably qualified site maintenance officer be responsible for:
1. Keeping the drive systemclean. Regular removal of dust, dirt and cobwebs from the
transaxle and battery housing areas is recommended. Access to the bottom of the machine
is necessary and this task may need tobe delegated to your electricalservice personnel.
(MONTHLY)
USE ONLY COMPRESSED AIR. DO NOT USE LIQUID CLEANERS OR PRESSURE HOSES UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
2. Lubricating of the brake lever when identified as being required by an operator.
In the event that a brake lever requires lubrication (never unless there is clear evidence that
the lever if hard to manipulate between the DRIVEand FREEWHEEL positions, a single drop
of oil at a time is to be applied to the spring-loaded pinshown below. If three drops have
been applied and the brake will still not move freely, replace the complete brake assembly.

SELF HELP GUIDE
The status lights display battery condition when lights are steady and error codes when lights
are flashing on and off. Count the bars lit and check against this list.
Low Battery Voltage - The battery needs charging or there is a bad connection to the
battery. Check the connections to the battery. If the connections are good, try charging
the battery.
Motor Disconnected - The motor has a bad connection. Check all the connections and
leads between the motor and the controller.
Motor Wiring Trip - The motor has a short circuit to a battery. Check all the connections
and leads between the motor and the battery.
Possible Control System Trip - A brake system trip is indicated. Make sure that all brake
connections are secure.
Not Used
Not Used
Throttle Trip - A throttle wiring fault has been detected.
Possible Control System Trip - A control system trip is indicated. Make sure that all
connections are secure.
Solenoid Brake Trip - The machine will not work if the drive/freewheel lever is in the
freewheel position. If not in freewheel, check all brake connections.
High Battery Voltage - An excessive voltage has been applied to the S-drive. This is
usually caused by a poor battery connection. Check the battery connections.
(Up and Down) Throttle Displaced - The throttle has been not at rest when the machine
is switched on or operated too soon after switching the power on. Place the throttle in
the neutral position and it should operate normally.
(Up only) Charger Charging - The machine will not operate because the battery charger
is connected.
NOTE: Whenever the display is in flashing mode, the power must be turned off and on again to
reset the controller.
If the problems persist after you have made the checks described above please contact your
supplier.
