WELCOME

This vehicle has been 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.

The use of non-Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approved parts may void the

warranty.

Failure to properly maintain batteries may void the warranty. Refer to the battery man-

ual for instructions on the proper maintenance and care of the batteries.

BATTERY PROLONGED STORAGE

All batteries will self-discharge over time. The rate of self-discharge varies depending

on the ambient temperature, the age and condition of the batteries.

A fully charged battery will not freeze in winter temperatures unless the temperature

falls below -75°F (- 60°C).

For winter storage, the batteries must be clean, fully charged and disconnected from

any source of electrical drain.

The battery charger may be left connected to the vehicle to maintain a full charge on the

batteries, provided the charger is plugged into an active electrical source. If power to

the electrical source is disconnected or interrupted the battery charger will continue to

check the charge on the battery pack, this will draw power from the battery pack and

eventually drain the batteries if power is not restored in a timely manner.

As with all electric vehicles, the batteries must be checked and recharged as required

or at a minimum of 30 day intervals.

Remember to check and maintain the proper fluid level in all battery cells during the

storage period; proper fluid level is required for maximum battery performance.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

Lead-acid batteries are recyclable. Return whole scrap batteries to distributor, manu-

facturer or lead smelter for recycling. For neutralized spills, place residue in acid-resis-

tant containers with absorbent material, sand or earth and dispose of in accordance

with local, state and federal regulations for acid and lead compounds. Contact local

and/or state environmental officials regarding disposal information.

product. To reduce the chance of personal injury or property damage, the following must be carefully observed:

SAFETY

All vehicles can be used for a variety of tasks beyond the original intended use of the vehicle; therefore, it is

impossible to anticipate and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur. No

warning can replace good common sense and prudent driving practices.

Good common sense and prudent driving practices do more to prevent accidents and injury than all of the

warnings and instructions combined. Textron Specialized Vehicles strongly suggests that all users and main-

tenance personnel read this entire manual paying particular attention to the CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and

DANGERS contained therein.

If you have any questions regarding this vehicle, contact your TSV/CUSHMAN dealer or write to the address on the

back cover of this publication, Attention: Customer Care Department.

TSV reserves the right to make design changes without obligation to make these changes on units previously sold.

The information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.

TSV IS NOT LIABLE FOR ERRORS IN THIS MANUAL. TSV IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUEN-

TIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF THE MATERIAL IN THIS MANUAL.

This vehicle conforms to the current applicable standard(s) for safety and performance requirements.

These vehicles are designed and manufactured for off-road use. They DO NOT conform to Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standards of the United States of America (USA) and are not equipped for operation on public streets. Some

communities may permit these vehicles to be operated on their streets on a limited basis and in accordance with local

ordinances.

With electric powered vehicles, be sure that all electrical accessories are grounded directly to the battery (-) post.

Never use the chassis or body as a ground connection.

Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle seating capacity.

Never modify the vehicle in any way that will alter the weight distribution of the vehicle, decrease its stability,

or increase the speed or extend the stopping distance beyond the factory specification. Such modifications

can result in serious personal injury or death.

Do not make any such modifications or changes. TSV prohibits and disclaims responsibility for all such modifications

or alterations which would adversely affect the safety of the vehicle.

Some models may be certified as a Type E or Type EE vehicle from the factory, any modification to one of these vehi-

cles will void the certification.

Operation of the vehicle is limited to persons above the height of 59 inches (150 cm).

GENERAL OPERATION

The owner/user of the vehicle is advised to read the Safety Standard for Operator Controlled Industrial Tow Tractors

ANSI/ITSDF B56.9 to define general safety practices and training needs to insure safe use of industrial tow tractors.

SAFETY

Read the following warnings before attempting to operate the vehicle.

To prevent personal injury or death, observe the following:

When vehicle is to be left unattended, turn key to OFF position AND REMOVE KEY.

Drive vehicle only as fast as terrain and safety considerations allow. Consider the terrain and traffic condi-

tions. Consider environmental factors which affect the terrain and the ability to control the vehicle.

Avoid driving fast downhill. Sudden stops or change of direction may result in a loss of control. Use brake to

control speed when traveling down an incline.

Use extra care and reduced speed when driving in poor conditions or on poor surfaces.

Stay in designated areas where provided and avoid steep slopes.

Keep feet, legs, hands, and arms inside vehicle at all times.

Avoid extremely rough terrain.

NOTICE:

In any product, components may eventually fail to perform properly as the result of normal use, age, wear, or abuse.

It is impossible to anticipate all possible component failures or the manner in which each component may fail.

A vehicle requiring repair is no longer functioning as designed and therefore could be potentially hazardous. There-

fore, use extreme care when working on any vehicle. When diagnosing, removing, or replacing any components that

are not operating correctly, take time to consider the safety of yourself and others around you.

Some components are heavy, spring-loaded, highly corrosive, explosive, may produce high amperage, or reach high

temperatures. Exposure to battery acid and hydrogen gas could result in serious bodily injury. Be careful to protect

hands, face, feet, and body from injury.

Always use the appropriate tools listed in the tool list and wear approved safety equipment.

Before working on the vehicle, remove all jewelry.

Be sure no loose clothing or hair can contact moving parts.

Use care not to touch hot objects.

Wear eye protection when working on or around the vehicle. In particular, use care when working around bat-

teries, using solvents or compressed air.

Hydrogen gas is formed when charging batteries. Do not charge batteries without adequate ventilation.

Do not permit open flame or anyone to smoke in an area that is being used for charging batteries.

Do not charge the vehicle batteries in a hazardous location or atmosphere. Refer to NFPA 505 for definitions

of hazardous and non-hazardous locations.
