OPERATION

Driving Safely

Driving in Reverse

This vehicle is equipped with a reverse speed limiter. The override

button should be used with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly

increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle. Open the throttle just

enough to maintain a desired speed.
Follow these precautions

when operating in reverse:
1. Always avoid backing

downhill.

2. Back slowly.
3. When in reverse, apply

the brakes lightly for

stopping.

4. Avoid turning at sharp

angles in reverse.

5. Never open the throttle

suddenly while backing.

6. Never activate the override button while the throttle is open. Loss

of control may result.

CAUTION

Opening the throttle more than required may cause fuel to build in

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

WARNING

Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in

serious injury or death. Before shifting into reverse gear, always

check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. When it’s safe

to proceed, back slowly.
Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required

for vehicle movement.
Avoid backing on inclines.
Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse.
