V I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G

Your Wrangler requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Recharge the batteries with the convenient onboard battery charger.

Two important points to remember are:

νCharge your Wrangler’s batteries with the supplied onboard battery charger prior to using it for the first time.

νKeep your batteries fully charged to keep your Wrangler running smoothly.

NOTE: Use only the onboard battery charger supplied with your Wrangler.

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition meter on the control console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries. (The meter reads 24 volts when your batteries are fully charged.) To check the charge, you must first unplug the onboard battery charger and insert the key into the key switch.

NOTE: To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while operating your PMV at full speed on a level surface.

You can also use the ammeter to check your batteries’charge. The ammeter is located on the utility tray under the rear shroud. See figure 8. The amperage reading should be at or near zero (0) when the batteries are fully charged. The battery charger must be plugged into a wall outlet to obtain a ammeter reading.

CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES

The charger power cord plugs into a standard wall outlet to charge the batteries.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO SAFELY CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES

1.Position your Wrangler close to a standard wall outlet.

2.Remove the key from the key switch.

3.Ensure the freewheel lever is in the up (drive) position.

4.Extend the charger power cord (see figure 7A) and plug it into the wall outlet. We recommend you charge your Wrangler’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours.

WARNING! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard wall outlet.

5.When the batteries are fully charged, (indicated by the ammeter reading 0) unplug the onboard charger power cord from the wall outlet.

There are two LED indicators (red and green) on the front of the battery charger.

νWhen lit, the red LED indicates that the batteries are being charged.

νA green and red LED lit simultaneously indicates charging is nearly complete.

νWhen lit, the green LED indicates the batteries are fully charged.

NOTE: There is a charger inhibit on your Wrangler. Your PMV does not run and the battery condition meter does not operate while the batteries are charging.
