MODEL IDENTIFICATION
The serial number of your transportation vehicle is printed on a bar code decal mounted on the frame directly
above the accelerator pedal (Example: J9901-123456) (Figure 2, Page 10). There is also a second serial
number decal mounted on the front body frame behind the center dash panel. The center dash panel must
be removed to access this serial number. See following NOTE.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Your transportation vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and adjusted at the factory and by your Carryall
distributor/dealer. However, upon receiving your new transportation vehicle(s), you should become familiar
with its controls and operation. Carefully inspect each vehicle to be satisfied that it is in proper working con-
dition before accepting delivery. Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect your new vehicle. This
same checklist should also be used in conjunction with the Periodic Service Schedule on pages 19 through
20. Any problems should be corrected by your Carryall distributor/dealer or a trained technician only.
• General: All the parts should be in place and properly installed. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tight.
• Warning Decals: Check to ensure that all warning and operation decals are in place. See Pages 4
through 9.
• Tires: Check for proper tire pressure. See Tire Capacities, Page 22.
• Batteries: Before using vehicle for the first time check electrolyte to ensure it is at the proper level
(Figure 10, Page 23). Check battery posts. Wires should be tight and free of corrosion and batteries
should be fully charged.
• Multi-Step Potentiometer (Tourall Only): Be sure potentiometer (wiper switch) cover is properly
secured prior to operating the vehicle. See following WARNING.
•ALWAYS HAVE THE VEHICLE SERIAL NUMBER AT HAND WHEN ORDERING PARTS OR
MAKING INQUIRIES (FIGURE 2, PAGE 10).
Figure 2 Serial Number Location
•BE SURE THE PLASTIC HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SEAT BOTTOM BEFORE OPERAT-
ING THE VEHICLE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PER-
SONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving
instructions, take the vehicle for a test drive. Use the following checklist as a guide to inspect your new vehi-
cle. Any problems should be corrected only by your Carryall distributor/dealer or a trained technician.
All vehicles
• Brakes: Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully depressed under moderate
pressure, it should not go more than halfway to the floor, and vehicle should come to a smooth, straight
stop. Tourall vehicles should stop within 14 feet. Trans-Porter/Trans-Sender and Resort Villager vehi-
cles should stop within 16 feet. If the brake pedal goes more than halfway to the floor or if the vehicle
swerves or fails to stop within the appropriate braking distance for your vehicle (see preceding sen-
tences), have the brake system checked and adjusted as required. Brake adjustment must be main-
tained so that the brake pedal cannot be depressed to the floor under any circumstances.
• Park Brake: When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on
incline of 20% or less). It should release when either the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed.
• Reverse Buzzer: The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when vehicle is in REVERSE.
• Steering: The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel.
• Accelerator:
As the accelerator pedal is depressed, the motor should start and the vehicle should accelerate
smoothly to full speed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position and the motor
should stop. The vehicle should run at a reduced speed when in reverse.
• General: Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle ride and perfor-
mance. Have a Carryall distributor/dealer or a trained mechanic investigate anything unusual.
CONTROLS
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 3.
KEY SWITCH
The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column (Figure 3, Page 12). It has two
positions, OFF and ON, which are clearly labeled. See following NOTE.
•DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE VEHICLE IN ANY WAY WHICH MIGHT AFFECT ITS
STABILITY OR HANDLING, OR INCREASE MAXIMUM VEHICLE SPEED BEYOND FACTORY
SPECIFICATIONS. PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH COULD RESULT.
•DO NOT SHIFT THE FORWARD/REVERSE HANDLE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. TO
AVOID INJURY TO PASSENGER(S) OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, ALWAYS BRING THE
VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP BEFORE SHIFTING THE HANDLE. A BUZZER WILL SOUND AS A
WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE.
•RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THEN DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRMLY
UNTIL THE VEHICLE STOPS. TO AVOID UNINTENTIONALLY STARTING OR ROLLING THE
VEHICLE, SET THE PARK BRAKE, TURN THE KEY SWITCH TO OFF, AND REMOVE THE KEY
WHEN LEAVING THE VEHICLE.
•THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHEN THE KEY SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION ONLY.

Controls
12 1999 Transportation Electric Vehicle Owner’s Manual
FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
The Forward/Reverse shift handle is located on the seat support panel (Figure 4, Page 12). The handle has
three distinct positions: F(forward), N(neutral), and R(reverse). Rotate the handle towards the driver, F(for-
ward), to operate the vehicle in the FORWARD direction, or towards the passenger, R(reverse), to operate
the vehicle in REVERSE. When the handle is in the straight up, or N(neutral) position, the vehicle will not
operate. All Carryall transportation vehicles operate at reduced speed in REVERSE. See following NOTE.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it (Figure 5, Page 12). See
following NOTE.
Figure 3 Key Switch Figure 4 Forward/Reverse Handle
•THE REVERSE BUZZER(S) WILL SOUND AS A WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE.
• THE OPERATION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DIFFERS FROM THAT OF AN
AUTOMOBILE. WHEN THE KEY SWITCH IS ON, AND THE FORWARD/REVERSE HANDLE IS IN
EITHER FORWARD OR REVERSE, DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL
AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE THE PARK BRAKE AND START THE VEHICLE MOVING IN THE
DIRECTION SELECTED (FORWARD OR REVERSE). AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED,
SPEED WILL INCREASE UNTIL FULL SPEED IS REACHED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS
RELEASED, POWER WILL BE CUT OFF AND THE MOTOR WILL STOP RUNNING.

BRAKE PEDAL
The brake pedal is the large pedal on the left with the word STOP molded into it (Figure 5, Page 12). To slow
or stop the vehicle, depress the brake pedal with your foot.
PARK BRAKE PEDAL
The park brake pedal is the small raised portion in the upper left corner of the brake pedal. It has the word
PARK molded into it and the words PARK BRAKE marked on top (Figure 6, Page 12). To set the park
brake, depress the brake pedal firmly and tilt the park brake portion of the pedal forward (Figure 7,
Page 13).See following WARNING.
BATTERY WARNING LIGHT
PowerDrive System 48 vehicles feature a dash mounted warning light (above steering column) that, when
the vehicle is in operation, indicates low battery voltage, or, when the vehicle is being charged, indicates a
charging problem. The battery warning light is controlled by the PowerDrive onboard computer.
When the vehicle is in operation, the warning light will come on and remain illuminated if:
•Batteries voltage drops below 48 when there is no load on the batteries (the vehicle is stopped and
there are no accessories on).
•Batteries have discharged to less than 25% of rated capacity.
If the warning light comes on when the vehicle is operating, there will be enough power remaining to drive
the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes. However, the vehicle should be charged at the first opportunity. If
the warning light comes on and the vehicle is unable to operate for 30 minutes, have your Carryall distributor/
dealer check the vehicle for a possible battery or electrical system problem.
When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC
power to the charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) the
charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows:
•The warning light will not come on if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer will
retain in memory the amount of charge needed to fully replenish the batteries and will complete the
charge during the next charge cycle.
Figure 7 Park Brake Pedal
•THE PARK BRAKE WILL RELEASE AUTOMATICALLY WHEN EITHER THE ACCELERATOR OR
BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THE PARK BRAKE HAS MULTIPLE LOCKING POSITIONS AND
SHOULD BE FIRMLY PRESSED AND LOCKED TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING.

Driving Instructions
14 1999 Transportation Electric Vehicle Owner’s Manual
•When the charger is unplugged, the warning light will come on and remain illuminated for 10 seconds if
the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for approximately 30 minutes
of operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to
completion as soon as possible.
•The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals if the charger times
out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged (see PowerDrive Charger Owner’s
Manual). This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by
your Carryall distributor/dealer.
•The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals during a charge
cycle (DC plug is still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when
AC power is restored.
DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
