Drive system
Directional change control switch
The Gator™ TE Utility Vehicle features a motor powered by a 48-V electrical system.
Through the use of a separately excited controller, the Gator TE offers the following unique features:
Power is transferred through a transaxle with helical gearing for low gear noise.
Onboard battery charger (detail)
Battery charger located under passenger seat
The Gator™ TE is equipped with an Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) approved onboard charger. Located under the passenger seat, the onboard charger allows the user to charge their TE from any location containing a wall receptacle. This saves the user time, as they do not have to travel back to the maintenance area for charging; charging can be done anywhere.
The onboard charger is designed with a wide input voltage range from 85 - 265 VAC, making it capable for worldwide application. Power factor correction and 12A maximum current draw ensures the charger will work reliably from any power outlet in the world, even through surges and sags.
Improved run time
The onboard charger features advanced temperature sensor technology that improves the information flow coming in and out of charger. The batteries are allowed to charge more fully than they were ever able to before; this can improve run time by up to 75 percent (depending on use cycle).
Important safety features of the charger are as follows:
External charger plug and light-emitting diode (LED) charge indicator
LED indicator
Lift LED indicator to access IEC connector
The Gator TE is equipped with an external AC input IEC connector on the driver side of the vehicle to allow the flexibility of where the charger cord is stored. There is a multicolor LED indicator for low charge, more than 80 percent charge, full charge, or fault.
The heavy-duty design with arc-welded uni-body construction provides strength and manufacturing tolerance control.
