Operating Instructions (cont’d)
Charging
Place the vehicle in a well-ventilated area and follow these steps to charge the battery:
Remove the deck for battery ventilation.
Check the battery’s water levels.
Plug the charger cord into the wall receptacle and into the charger receptacle located on the rear of the
vehicle.
Turn the key switch to the CHARGE position.
Driving
Follow these steps to operate your Pack Mule or Power Mule vehicle:
Disconnect the battery charger.
Remove the charger cord from the 120-Volt power outlet. Disconnect the charger cord from the charger
receptacle located on the rear of the vehicle. Ensure that the area is clear of all obstructions.
Turn the key switch to the ON position.
Be sure that the direction switch is in the neutral position and the accelerator pedal is not depressed.
Insert the key into the ignition switch located on the instrument panel. Turn the key completely to the
right. The indicator light (BDI) located immediately above the ignition switch should come on. If not,
do not attempt to operate the vehicle.
Move the directional switch to the desired setting.
The vehicle will not operate if the accelerator pedal is depressed and the directional switch is in the
middle or neutral position. (See “Key Switch” on page 8.)
NOTE: If the directional switch is left in the FORWARD or REVERSE position for 10 seconds or
more without depressing on the accelerator pedal, the delay safety feature engages, and the vehicle
will not move. The operator must turn the directional swith to the NEUTRAL position, and then back
to the desired direction to resume motion.
Press the accelerator.
Depress the accelerator with your foot. The speed of the vehicle will be proportional to the amount
of pressure that is applied to the pedal. The controller regulates the speed, acting as an automatic
transmission.
Stopping.
Standing Vehicles: Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. The brake will automatically engage
upon releasing the accelerator.
Seated Vehicles: Press on the separate brake pedal.
