Charging Utility Vehicle
The electric motor receives power from four batteries
stored under the seat. These batteries are sealed and
maintenance-free, so acid levels cannot be checked
and water cannot be added. When the accelerator
pedal is released the motor braking feature acts as a
power regenerator to the batteries.
Recharging the batteries is required when the battery
gauge on the instrument cluster indicates a low charge
when the vehicle is at rest or not under a heavy load.
The vehicle may also need charging if it has not been in
use for several days.
NOTE: When operating the vehicle under a heavy load
or an incline, the battery gauge may display a
temporary lower charge. This does not indicate
charging is needed.
WARNING: The electrical outlet for
charging your vehicle must be grounded
(GFCI protection) and accept a 3-prong
plug. The extension cord used for
charging must be a 3-wire grounding type
cord with a 3-prong plug. It must be a
minimum 16 AWG and be no longer than
50 feet. The use of an improper extension
cord could result in a fire or an electrical
shock. Always disconnect the extension
cord from the grounded ac outlet and
vehicle before driving vehicle.
• To recharge vehicle, plug a 3-prong 120V,ac
extension cord that is 16 gauge minimum and 50ft
maximum length (110-120V 60Hz) into a properly
grounded three-prong 120V, ac outlet (GFCI
protection).
• Insert the extension cord into the charging port on
the vehicle. Refer to Figure 8.
• It can take up to 7 to 8 hours to fully recharge the
batteries. Refer to the battery gauge on the
instrument cluster to determine level ofcharge.
• Before driving, disconnect the extension cord from
the grounded three-prong outlet first and then from
the charging porton the vehicle.

9
NOTE: The vehicle cannot be driven when the
extension cord is connected to the charging port.
•A fully charged vehicle can be operated up to 30
miles before a recharge is necessary, but it is not
necessary to let the batteries run down completely
in order to recharge again.
NOTE: The vehicle batteries cannot be overcharged or
overheated due to prolong charging. It is recommended
the vehicle be left in a charge mode to maintain a full
charge and extend battery life.
