C HARGING B ATTERIES
Our Pack Mule electric vehicles come standard with an
onboard charger. They also come available with a slide out
battery system, in which case, no onboard charger is
included. If your unit comes with the onboard charger, place
the vehicle in a well-ventilated area and follow these steps to
charge the battery:
1. Position the vehicle within reach of an electrical
outlet.
2. Check all battery cells for proper acid level. Fluid
should be above plates.
3. Plug in the charger AC line cord (Figure 2) which is
already attached to the charger into a wall plug.
CAUTION: Extension
cords must be a 3-wire
cord no longer than
30m (100’) at 10AWG
or 7.5m (25’) at 16
AWG per UL guidelines.
Only
connect ONE
charger to a single 15A
circuit or the circuit may
become overloaded.
