CONTROLS AND INDICATORS - GASOLINE VEHICLES
See General Warnings on page 7.
WARNING
• If renting or loaning the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and operating procedures
before allowing the vehicle to be driven.
• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the vehicle is moving. To avoid injury to an unsuspecting
passenger or damage to the vehicle, always bring the vehicle to a full stop before shifting the
Forward/Reverse handle.
• Release the accelerator pedal and then press the brake pedal firmly until the vehicle stops. To avoid
unintentionally starting or rolling the vehicle, set the park brake, place the Forward/Reverse handle in the
NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch to the OFF position, and remove the key.
• Do not tamper with the governor. Doing so will void the warranty, as well as damage the engine and other
components, and could result in property damage, personal injury, or death due to unsafe speed.
KEY SWITCH
The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column (Figure 15). It has two positions, OFF and ON,
which are clearly labeled. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.
FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL
The Forward/Reverse handle is located on the seat support panel, below and to the right of the driver's right knee (Figure
16). The handle has three distinct positions: F (FORWARD), N (NEUTRAL), and R (REVERSE). Rotate the handle towards
the driver (FORWARD) to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or towards the passenger (REVERSE) to operate the
vehicle in reverse. When the handle is in the straight up position, (NEUTRAL), the vehicle will not operate. The engine will
stop if it is shifted to this position during operation. Our vehicles operate at reduced speed in reverse. The reverse buzzer will
sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is in the REVERSE position.
