Operating a Damaged Vehicle
Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident. In the case
of an overturn or other accident, have a qualified service dealer
inspect the entire machine for possible damage, including (but not
limited to) brakes, batteries, and steering systems.
Operating at Excessive Speeds
On hills it is possible for this vehicle to coast at greater than normal
speeds than those encountered on level surfaces. Operating this
vehicle at excessive speeds increases the operator’s risk of losing
control. Limit speeds to no more than the maximum speed on level
ground.
Turning Improperly
Turning improperly could cause loss of traction, loss of control,
accident, or overturn. Never turn abruptly or at sharp angles. Never
turn at high speeds. Never abruptly accelerate while turning.
Always make smooth, controlled movements to complete safe
turns.
Jumps and Stunts
Attempting wheelies, jumps, and other stunts increases the risk of
accident or overturn. Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other
stunts.
Improper Hill Climbing
Climbing hills improperly can cause loss of control or vehicle
overturn. Do not climb a hill or drive down a hill with a slope of 15
degrees or more.
10

Stalling While Climbing a Hill
Stalling or rolling backwards while climbing a hill could cause an
overturn. Always maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill.
If all forward speed is lost:
•Apply the brakes. Switch the drive system to reverse and
slowly allow the vehicle to roll straight downhill while applying
light brake pressure to control speed.
If you begin rolling downhill backwards:
•Never apply throttle power
•Apply the brakes gradually until the vehicle is fully stopped.
•Switch the drive system to reverse and slowly allow the vehicle
to roll straight downhill while applying light brake pressure to
control speed.
Improper Tire Size, Type, or Maintenance
Operating this vehicle with improper tire size or type will void the
warranty. See your dealer for details. Operating this vehicle with
uneven or low tire pressure could cause loss of control or accident.
Always use the size and type of tires specified for your vehicle.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in the owner’s
manual and on the safety labels.
Equipment Modifications
We strongly recommend that consumers do not install any after-
market equipment that may increase the speed or power of the
vehicle, or make any other modifications to the vehicle for these
purposes. Any modifications to the original equipment of the vehicle
11

create a substantial safety hazard and increase the risk of bodily
injury.
Notice:
•The warranty of the eNVy will void if any unauthorized
equipment is added to the vehicle, or if any modifications are
made to the vehicle that increase the speed or power.
The addition of certain accessories may change the handling
characteristics of the vehicle. Use only factory approved
accessories, and familiarize yourself with their function and effect
on the vehicle.
UNDER FEDERAL LAW modified this vehicle to become a Low
Speed Vehicle (LSV) is subject to the strictures and requirements
of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 571.500. In these
instances, pursuant to Federal law the Distributor or Dealer MUST
equip the product with headlights, rear lights, turn signals, seat
belts, top, horn, and all other modifications for LSV’s mandated in
FMVSS 571.500, and affix a Vehicle Identification Number to the
product in accordance with the requirements of FMVSS 571.565.
Pursuant to FMVSS 571.500, and in accordance with the State
laws applicable in the places of sale and use of the product, the
Distributor, Dealer, or customer modifying the vehicle also will be
the Final Vehicle Manufacturer for the LSV, and required to title or
register the vehicle as mandated by State law.
eNVy will NOT approve Distributor, Dealer, or customer
modifications converting eNVy products into LSV’s.
12

Ventilation
Hydrogen gas is generated during battery charging. Hydrogen is
explosive in concentrations as low as 4%. To prevent this
concentration, ensure that the vehicle is charged in an area with at
least five air exchanges per hour at a minimum.
Never charge a vehicle in an area where flames or sparks may be
present. Be especially careful of natural gas or propane water
heaters and furnaces.
Always use a dedicated circuit for each battery charger. Do not plug
other appliances into the same receptacle as the charger during
charging.

Start-Up
Press the power button at the top-left of the control console and
allow the system to boot up. Insert your personal 4-digit passcode
and press “Enter” to allow access to the heads-up display.
The default passcode is “1234”. The passcodes for user/operator
and owner can be changed from the Menu screen. If both
passcodes are the same, then it defaults to the owner. This screen
will also provide time, date, and BDI information.
Figure 4: PIN Input Screen
15

The display will accept two passcodes: one for owner and one for
user/operator.
Notice:
•If an incorrect passcode was entered the soft interlock
message won’t be communicated to the motor controller and
the vehicle would not start and the incorrect passcode window
would popup. The user can press cancel to access the main
screen. If the user pressed cancel at the passcode screen,
none of the buttons on the main screen will be active except
the message box which will take the user back to the Enter
Passcode screen.
•Passcode lockout: if the user enters the passcode incorrectly
5 times, a popup will appear notifying the user that the
passcode entry is disabled for 5 minutes. The main screen will
then appear, and all touch functions are disabled. After 5
minutes, the user will be able to touch the message box to
return to the passcode screen.
•Reset Passcode Screen: The reset passcode should be
entered when first installing the display in the vehicle and
should be printed in the manual or stored elsewhere separate
from the vehicle. When the display is first powered up, this
screen will appear allowing the installer to enter that reset
passcode (a second time as well for confirmation). The display
will store this number in memory and will not display that
screen again.
The user will be able to reset the regular passcode by entering
the reset passcode.When the user needs to reset the regular
16

passcode, they will enter the reset passcode screen through a
button on the regular passcode screen. The button will only be
visible if the regular passcode was entered incorrectly at least
once. The reset passcode would be 6 digits. After it’s entered,
the owner and operator passcodes will be reset to 1234.
•If the reset passcode is lost, there is no way for the owner to
reset the regular passcodes. (Please contact dealer)
