OPERATING YOUR PMV
Keep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating your PMV. This driving
position gives you the most control over your vehicle.
n Set the speed adjustment dial to your desired speed.
n Press your thumb against the appropriate throttle control lever.
n The electromechanical disc park brake automatically disengages and the PMV accelerates smoothly to the
speed you preselected with the speed adjustment dial.
n Pull on the left handgrip to steer your PMV to the left.
n Pull on the right handgrip to steer your PMV to the right.
n Move the tiller to the center position to drive straight ahead.
n To stop, slowly release the throttle control lever. The electronic brakes will automatically engage when your
PMV comes to a stop.
NOTE: Your PMV’s reverse speed is slower then that of the forward speed you preset with the speed
adjustment dial.
