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.
