Battery Pack
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery pack. This battery pack supplies the power needed to
operate the vehicle.
These batteries perform best when recharged fully and often. Recharge the batteries daily, or
after each use of the vehicle.
NOTICE: Each vehicle is programmed at the factory for a particular battery type. Switching battery
types should be done only by an authorized service technician. Your authorized GEM dealer
can provide battery-related service.
To access the battery pack, remove any rear accessory back installed on the vehicle. See page
84. Release the battery pack access cover fasteners and remove the cover.

Battery Performance Tips
• New batteries will not perform to their
fullest capacity until they have been
discharged and recharged 20 to 30 times.
• Batteries should be fully charged before
the first use.
• Recharge the batteries daily, or after each
use of the vehicle.
• Always maintain a full charge on the
batteries. For best battery life, avoid
discharging the batteries more than 80%.
• Batteries should be at room temperature
when recharging. Do not charge batteries
at temperatures of 110°F (43°C) or
higher.
• Range may be affected by road
conditions, terrain, temperature and
driving habits.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Batteries
On-Board Charger
The on-board battery charger is located under the hood.
The state of charge of the batteries displays in the rider information center and a “C” displays
when the vehicle is charging.
When the vehicle will not be used for 10 or more days, connect the charger. The state of
charge of the batteries will be monitored, and charging will automatically be initialized when
the state of charge drops below 97% or when 28 days have passed since the last charge
completed.
This works best for maintenance free sealed Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Water
filled lead acid batteries will require some attention to maintain proper fluid levels. See page
126.
IMPORTANT: Avoid temperature extremes when choosing a storage area.
63
FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Batteries
On-Board Charger
If the combined voltage of all batteries reaches 36 volts or less, a safety feature in the on-
board charger will not allow the charger to activate. If this occurs, use the alternate charging
method. See page 68.
Battery Charging
WARNING! Using a non-recommended extension cord could result in fire, heat damage or charger
failure, which could result in serious injury or death. Always use the recommended type of cord to
charge the batteries.
Tip: Do not use a ground fault interrupt (GFI) type cord on a GFCI-protected outlet.
WARNING! Charging from a circuit of lesser capacity and/or using a cord from the outlet to the vehicle
that is not sufficient in wire gauge could create a fire hazard.
WARNING! Failure to provide adequate ventilation while charging batteries can result in an explosion.
Hydrogen gas is emitted during charging and will rise and accumulate at the ceiling. Always ensure a
minimum of five (5) air changes per hour in the charging area. Never charge the batteries in an area
subject to a flame or spark, including areas containing gas or propane water heaters and furnaces. Do
not smoke in the charging area.

Battery Charging
Your vehicle is equipped with either a standard charge receptacle or a fast charge receptacle.
The battery charge receptacle is located at the rear of the hood, just below the windshield.
Standard Charge Receptacle
The following information applies to use of the standard
charge receptacle. See page 67 for information that applies
to the use of the fast charge receptacle.
When charging the vehicle, always use a standard 3-wire
grounded extension cord of one of the following types:
• 12-gauge wire with 3-wire grounded, 50 feet (15.25 m)
or shorter.
• 14-gauge wire with 3-wire grounded, 25 feet (7.6 m) or
shorter.

Tip: Always use a 110-volt AC, 15 amp breaker outlet. A GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) receptacle is
recommended. See your authorized GEM dealer if you do not have a GFI receptacle at your
regular recharge site.
• Make sure the charger uses a dedicated circuit to prevent overloading. If charging multiple
vehicles, each vehicle should use a dedicated circuit.
• When disconnecting the charger, always disconnect the extension cord from the wall
receptacle first, then disconnect the cord from the vehicle.

Battery Handling Precautions
• Never connect a 12-volt accessory directly to the batteries. Always connect any powered
accessory to the 12-volt terminal board. See page 74.
• Never connect jumper cables to any of the batteries of this vehicle.
• Always wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear a
full-face shield and gloves when working with or around batteries and electrical

BRAMMO® Lithium-Ion Cold Battery Performance
Vehicle Storage During Freezing Conditions
• The Brammo li-ion batteries in your vehicle will not accept a charge unless internal
battery temperatures are at or above 41° F (5° C).
• When ambient temperature is at or above -16° F (-27° C), the battery heaters will use
battery pack energy to warm the batteries to an internal temperature of 41° F (5° C), at
which point the batteries will accept a charge.
• The battery heaters will not operate when ambient temperature is below -16° F (-27° C).
• When ambient temperature is below -16° F (-27° C), the vehicle should remain in storage
until ambient temperature is at or above -16° F (-27° C).

Doors
Accessory doors are available for most models. Options include soft doors, hard doors with
crank windows and locks, half doors and quarter doors.
WARNING! Doors do not offer structural protection in the event of an accident and do not change the
open body characteristics of the vehicle. The doors provide protection from the weather only. Always
use seat belts. Failure to use the seat belts puts the driver and passengers at greater risk of serious
injury or death in the event of an accident.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Seat Adjustment
Seats can be adjusted forward or rearward. The seat adjustment lever is directly under the
front of the seat.
1. Move the adjustment lever to the left and slide the seat to the desired position.
2. Release the lever.
3. Make sure the seat latches securely in position. Test the latch by attempting to slide the
seat forward and rearward while seated.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS
Seat Belts
Failure to properly use seat belts and child restraints can result in serious injury or death. Always follow
all legal requirements for seat belt and child restraint use in on-road vehicles.
• Always make sure the seat belts are secured for operator and all passengers before operating.
• Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips
as possible. Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen.
• The operator and all passengers are subject to the same legal requirements for seat belt use as
occupants in other on-road vehicles. Always make sure children are properly restrained. Children
ages 12 and under should ride in a rear seat. Infants must always be restrained in a rear seat. Use
the type of restraint that is correct for your child. When using child safety seats, always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation and use in a vehicle containing only a shoulder/lap
belt restraint system. Visit www.seatcheck.org or call 1-866-SEATCHECK for more information

OPERATION
Driving On Slippery Surfaces
Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or overturn (if tires regain traction unexpectedly). When
operating on slippery surfaces, reduce speed and use extra caution to reduce the chance of skidding or
sliding out of control. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces.
Whenever driving on slippery surfaces
such as wet or icy pavement or loose
gravel, follow these precautions:
1. Do not operate on excessively
slippery surfaces.
2. Slow down before driving onto a
slippery surface.
3. Avoid quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.
4. Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. Never apply the
brakes during a skid.

Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning Seats
GEM Foaming All Surface Cleaner can be used to clean the seats. Rubbing seats with warm
water and a clean, damp cloth will also remove dirt. Substances such as tar, asphalt and other
soils will stain if not removed quickly. Use a clean cloth and solvent type vinyl cleaner, then
wash the area thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild liquid detergent. Rinse with cool water.
Cleaning the Interior
Use mild liquid detergent and warm water to clean the interior. Remove detergent or deposits
with a clean, damp cloth.
NOTICE: Do not spray the interior of your vehicle. Liquids can damage electrical components and the
circuit board. Handle liquids with care. Do not spray water directly into the upper or lower
console.
