LESSONS LEARNED AFTER 9 YEARS HEAVY USE

1) Refill the batteries every 2000 miles
2) Check condition of brushes and commutator every 2000 miles
3) If you are planning to go on a motorway you need to remove the traction motor and fully open up the air inlets on both sides using a hammer!
4) Fit a small DC fan directly above the charger module within the ECU, see earlier picture
5) If you run out of charge (yellow light on) find a place to stop and call for a tow (or you will blow a cell)
6) If you are using motorways try to keep the speed at 60 Max (higher speeds cause the commutator to arc severely)
7) Use Evan Tuer's device to reset the water light when it comes on (or you wont be able to put in 100% charge) this is a serious problem because the individual cells will get out of balance and burn out.

Good Luck
