WARNING
SmartView® Dash Display
The Smart View Display (SVD) functions as a Battery Status Indicator (BSI), Hour Meter (HM),
speed controller status monitor, and as an optional maintenance monitor feature. The operation of
each of these functions is described below.
BSI
A bar graph representing the current state of charge is located across the top of the display.
When the batteries are fully charged, all segments of the bar graph will be on. As the batteries
are used, segments will turn off in the order of right to left.
When the batteries are discharged to 75%, the last three segments will ash indicating that
you are approaching the end of the battery cycle.At this time, the vehicle’s batteries should be
charged as soon as possible.
At 90%, all segments will ash and the vehicle’s speed will be reduced. At this time, the vehicle
should be removed from service for charging. Discharging beyond 90% will result in damage to
the batteries that will shorten the battery life-span.
Note: The battery status gauge as well as any faults indicating low battery voltage will not reset
until the batteries have successfully completed a charging cycle.
