FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Brake Pedal

Depress the brake pedal to slow
or stop the vehicle. Apply the
brakes while starting the engine.

Throttle Pedal

Push the pedal down to increase
engine speed. Spring pressure
returns the pedal to the rest posi-
tion when released. Always check
that the throttle pedal returns nor-
mally before starting the engine.
Make sure there's adequate throt-
tle pedal freeplay. See page 70

for

throttle pedal adjustment procedures.

This vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control (ETC),
which is designed to reduce the risk of a frozen or stuck throttle. If the
throttle cable should stick in an open position when the operator releases
the throttle pedal, the engine will stop and power to the rear wheels will
cease.

The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) stops the engine in the event of a
throttle system malfunction. Modifications to the electronic throttle control
could result in failure to perform as designed, which could result in an
accident. Do not attempt to modify the ETC system or replace it with any
after market throttle mechanism. Always ensure that the throttle cable is
installed and properly routed to the throttle control.
