SAFETY

Driving Safely

Driving in Reverse

Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
1. Avoid backing down-

hill.

2. Always check for

obstacles or people

behind the vehicle

before backing.

3. Drive slowly.
4. Apply the foot brake

lightly for stopping.

5. Avoid turning at sharp

angles.

6. Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required

for vehicle movement. Use with caution.

NOTE:

Reverse speed is greatly increased when the override switch is used.

Do not operate at full throttle. Apply just enough throttle to maintain the

desired speed.

Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may cause fuel to

build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or engine damage.

Always follow the procedures outlined

in this manual for driving in reverse.
