FOOT CONTROL PEDALS
If the engine will start without depressing the clutch
pedal:
• DO NOT operate the vehicle. The clutch interlock
system should be repaired immediately by your
authorized Cushman dealer.
The clutch pedal has to be depressed before shifting
into any of the gears. The clutch has a Safety Feature
called a “clutch interlock switch”. This switch pre-
vents the starter from operating unless the clutch is dis-
engaged (the clutch pedal is depressed).

• Never start the engine unless the clutch pedal is depressed (pushed down). If the vehicle is in
any gear other than neutral, with the clutch pedal not depressed and the engine is started, the
vehicle will lurch forward or backward depending which gear the vehicle is in. This lurching
could cause serious personal injury or death.
The park brake lever is located to the left side of the
