After making the desired directional selection, depress the floorboard-mounted accelerator pedal with your right
foot to engage the vehicle's power train. Always be aware of surrounding terrain and use caution. Judge speed
accordingly. Be cautious when encountering loose or wet terrain. Do not attempt steep grades.

carefully exit the vehicle. Never attempt to exit the vehicle while it is still moving. This could lead to severe
injury.

Store your CRICKET vehicle with the key switch in the Off position. Do not store vehicle for more than one
day without the battery charger hooked up. The charger must be plugged in when vehicle is not in use.
