How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?

Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions; smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. You will often face hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these driving conditions affect the distance or running time per battery charge. The following are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge.

!Always fully charge your Hurricane PMV’s batteries prior to your daily use.

!Maintain 30 psi (pounds per square inch) in all of your Hurricane PMV’s tires.

!Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.

!Limit your baggage weight to essential items.

!Try to maintain an even speed while your Hurricane PMV is in motion.

!Avoid stop-and-go driving.

What type and size of battery should I use?

We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) and Gel Cell are deep-cycle batteries that offer similar performance in your Hurricane PMV. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.

NOTE: Do not remove the caps from sealed batteries. Water cannot be added to sealed batteries. Cap removal voids the battery warranty and may cause damage to the batteries and to your Hurricane PMV.

Use these specifications to reorder deep-cycle batteries:

Type:

Deep-cycle (sealed lead-acid or gel cell)

Size:

U-1

Voltage:

12 volts each

Amperage: 32 AH (amp hours) or 40 AH (amp hours)
