NOTES
Owner’s Guide iii
This vehicle was designed and manufactured in the United States of America (USA).
The standards and specifications listed in the following text originate in the USA
unless otherwise indicated.
Use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved parts to keep the warranty
effective.
If you do not correctly maintain the batteries, you will cancel the warranty. Refer to
the MAINTENANCE section for instructions on the correct maintenance of the bat-
teries.
BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE
The batteries discharge over time. The rate of discharge changes according to the
ambient temperature, the age and condition of the batteries.
Completely charged batteries will not freeze in winter temperatures unless the
temperature is less than -75°F (- 60°C).
For winter storage, the batteries must be clean, completely charged and
disconnected from any electric drain.

Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
NOTES
The battery charger can remain connected to the vehicle to keep a full charge on the
batteries while the charger is connected to an active electrical supply. If the power
to the electrical supply is disconnected or interrupted, the battery charger will con-
tinuously check the charge on the battery pack. A continuous check of the battery
pack will pull power from the battery pack and drain the batteries.
The batteries must be checked and charged again as required or at a minimum of
30-day intervals.
Check and keep correct fluid level in all battery cells during the storage period.
Correct fluid level is necessary for maximum battery performance.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Lead-acid batteries are recyclable. Return discarded batteries to distributor, manu-
facturer or lead smelter for recycling. For neutralized spills, put residue in acid-
resistant containers with absorbent material such as sand. Dispose in accordance
with local, state and federal regulations for acid and lead compounds. Contact local
or state environmental authorized people for the disposal information.
