Owner’s Guide
• Release the park brake by depressing the service brake pedal until the park brake releases.
• Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to start the motor.
• When the accelerator pedal is released, the motor controls deceleration. To stop the vehicle more quickly,
depress the service brake pedal.
When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warning signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready
to run in reverse.
Starting Vehicle On A Hill
To reduce the possibility of roll-back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do not
release the service brake until motor has started
.
Do not hold vehicle on hill by using accelerator and motor. Leaving motor in a stalled condition for more than
3 - 4 seconds will cause permanent damage to motor.
To reduce the possibility of permanent damage to the drive system, it is important to prevent excessive roll-back when
starting the vehicle on a hill.
Place left foot on service brake and release the park brake. Depress accelerator with right foot and release the service
brake by lifting the left foot.
Coasting
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from coasting at above recommended speeds,
limit speed with service brake.
Uncontrolled coasting does not occur with this model. However, this is not a substitute for the service brake which should
be used to slow the speed of the vehicle quickly.
This model is equipped with a feature (pedal-up braking) that slows the vehicle’s speed when the accelerator pedal is
released until the vehicle stops.
LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS
