BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Your PMV requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an off-board charging system. Charge your PMV’s batteries prior to using it for the first time. Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your PMV running smoothly.

READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE

The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code. See figure

7.Green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. To ensure

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