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
position when released. Always check that the
throttle pedal returns normally before starting the
engine.
This vehicle is equipped with a throttle release
switch, 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, engine speed will be
limited, and power to the rear wheels will be
reduced.
Park Brake Lever (if equipped)
Always apply the service brakes before engaging or releasing the park brake. To help prevent
the vehicle from rolling, set the park brake when parking the vehicle. When the park brake is
set and the park brake indicator is illuminated, engine speed is limited. If the accelerator is
applied, this limiting feature prevents operation, which protects the park brake pads from
excessive wear.
Tip: This feature will not operate properly if
the park brake connector or switch
(under the hood) malfunctions or
becomes disconnected, or if the switch
has moved. Check for disconnection,
then see your dealer or other qualified
service person promptly if this feature
fails to operate properly.
