OPERATION
WARNING: Do not exceed payload capacity given on vehicle nameplate or permit passengers any
place on the vehicle.
•A three-wheeled vehicle is not as stable as a four-wheeled vehicle while cornering, particularly
while on a down hill grade. Pay attention to the LTI warning which will sound if maximum lateral
“G” force is exceeded.
•Place heavy loads forward of rear axles. Unbalanced or top heavy loads can cause vehicle upset.
•Wear a helmet.
•Do not start your vehicle in a closedgarage or other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic.
Always open the garage door before you start the engine.
Before you start your vehicle, do the following:
1. Make sure you buckle your safety belt. See Seat Belt in the Controls and Gauges section of the
manual for more details.
2. Make sure the gearshift selector is in Park and the parking brake is set before you turn the key.
Starting the Vehicle: Further information on engine starting is provided in this section.
1. Adjust the seat for easy access to switches and controls.
2. Adjust mirrors for a clear rear view both right and left mirrors.
3. Fasten seat belt.
4. Put key in ignition.
5. Turn key to start vehicle.
6. Use accelerator after vehicle has started.
7. Step on brake pedal.
8. Place gear selector into desired gear.
9. Release parking brake.
Note: Vehicle will not start if the transmission is not in “P” or “N”.
Stopping and Leaving Vehicle:
1. Stop unit fully with brake pedal.
2. Place gear selector lever in “P”.
3. Apply parking brake.
4. Turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove key.
Note: When leaving the vehicle on an uphill or downhill grade, the vehicle should be “curbed” (front wheel
positioned and pointed towards the curb so that the downhill momentum of the vehicle, should it roll, will
force the tire against the curb).

Operation – cont’d.
Starting the Engine
When starting the fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing down on the accelerator. Use the accelerator only
when you have problems getting your vehicle started. See Starting a Cold Engine for detailsabout when
to use the accelerator while you start your vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Do not park, idle or operate your vehicle in tall, dry grass or other dry ground areas. The
high heatgenerated by engine and emissions components (eg catalyticconverter) could starta ground re.
1. Turn the key to the ON position. All the warning lights, except the Brake Warning Light, should
light up. If any of them do not light up, have the bulb and circuit checked. When the engine starts,
the lights should go out.
2. The key must be in the START position, which cranks the engine, to test the Brake Warning
Light. If the Brake Warning Light does not light up, have the bulb and circuit checked.
3. When you release the parking brake, the Brake Warning Light should go o.
Starting a Cold Engine
During extremely cold weather, let the engine idle for about one minute after starting. By doing this, you
will allow the engine oil to begin to warm and lubricate engine parts before putting load on them.
WARNING: Do not let your vehicle idle too long. If it idles for more than 10 minutes, the high
temperatures in the exhaust system can cause damage especially if your vehicle idles at high speeds.
1. Turn the key to START until the engine starts. Do not press the accelerator.
Do not hold the key in the START position for more than 15 seconds at a time or you
could damage the starter.
2. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. Do not hold the key in START position after the
engine starts because you could damage the starter.
3. If the engine does not start on your rst try, turn the key to OFF. Wait 10 to 12 seconds so that
you do not ood the engine. Then begin again.
4. If the engine does not start after two tries, press the accelerator about ¼ of the way to the oor.
Then try again.
5. If the engine still does not start, push the accelerator to the oor and hold it while you turn the
key. Turn the key to START and hold it for up to 15 seconds. Then if the engine does notstart,
turn the key to OFFand wait two minutes before you try again.

Operation – cont’d
NOTE: If you consistently start your vehicle in subzero temperatures, park your vehicle in a garage or use
the engine block heater (if so equipped). Your dealer can provide information on block heater installation.
Starting a Warm Engine
1. Follow the steps under “Starting”
2. Turn the key to START until the engine starts. Do not use the accelerator until the engine is
running. Do not hold the key in the START position for more than four seconds at a time so that
you do not ood the engine.
3. If the engine does not start within four seconds, turn the key to the OFF position. Wait 10 or 12
secondsso that you do not ood the engine. Then begin again.
4. If the engine still does not start:
a. Press the accelerator all the way to oor. Hold it. Do not pump the pedal.
b. Turn the key to START.
c. Release the key when the engine starts.
d. Release the accelerator gradually as the engine starts.
Engine Cranks but Does Not Start
WARNING: If you detectanabnormally strong smell of gas, do not try to start your vehicle. You could
injure yourself or others. Get out of your vehicle and call a towing service or the localre department.
Exhaust Fumes
Carbon monoxide is colorlessand odorless. It is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid its
dangerous eects.
WARNING: Never idle the engine in closed areas. Never sit in parked or stopped vehicle for more than a
short period of time. Exhaust gases,particularly carbon monoxide, may build up. These gases are harmful
and could kill you.
If you smell exhaust fumes of anykind inside your vehicle, have your dealer inspect and x your vehicle
immediately. Do not drive the vehicle if you smell exhaust fumes.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Engine Service
Routine service can be done by opening the rearcargo box lid using the latch. Forward of the cargo box is
an access cover for checking uid levels; coolant, engine oil and transaxle.
Improved access to the engine/transaxle is provided by removing the rear cargo box.
1. Open box lid by unlocking rear latch.
2. Unscrew and withdraw ‘wing nut stud’ that axes cargo box to frame.
3. You and another person lift the rear of the cargo box slightly, slide backward, and remove.
Re-install cargo box using opposite procedures of disassembly.
Air Cleaner Element
The air cleaner element is a dry type air cleaner. It is chemically treated, pleated paper-air-ltering element
which permits air ow through the air induction system, ltering out unwanted dust, dirt, and debris.
Replace air lter every 30,000 miles (1000 hours). Replace every 15,000 miles (500 hours) or whichever
comes rst under severe operating conditions.
Access to air lter is done by:
1. Remove the cargo box (or slide rearward for access) as above.
2. Release the two latches on air cleaner housing cover.
3. Lift the air cleaner housing cover and air cleaner element.
4. Remove the air cleaner element.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Engine Oil
Proper amount of oil in the engine is important for safe operation. Check every time you add fuel to your
vehicle. For accurate reading make sure the vehicle is on a level surface and the oil is warm.
Check oil
1. Turn o engine after the oil is warm (2-3 minutes of running).
2. Locate the oil dipstick, on the side of engine.
3. Pull out dipstick, wipe clean and replace.
4. Pull out dipstick once again and read it. If the oil level is below the letter “F” or reads at 0.8L, add
oil until it reads at the line below “F”.
Adding Oil
1. Locate the oil ller cap on top of engine. Remove it.
2. Add desired amount of oil.
3. Let it sit a couple of minutes and recheck oil (as above) to insure proper level.
4. Replace ller cap.
Choosing the Right Viscosity Grade
You must consider the temperature in which you drive your GO-4. If you regularly drive in
temperatures that are below 100 F (38 C), use SAE 5W-20/GF4&SM oil. If you drive regularly at
temperatures above 100 F (38 C), use SAE 10W30 oil. If you regularly drive in temperatures that
are below 20 F (-10 C), use SAE 5W20 oil.
