Owner’s Manual
When possible, stay in approved areas. Do not drive on steep slopes.
Do not drive fast downhill. Sudden stops or change of direction can cause a loss of control. Use
the brake to control the speed of the vehicle when you drive down a slope.
To prevent loss of control, do not move the direction selector while the vehicle is in motion. If you
move the selector, the speed will immediately decrease and a warning device will activate.
Decrease speed before and during turns.
Do not drive the vehicle up, down, or across a slope that is more than 14° (25% grade).
See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for the vehicle load and seat capacity.
When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the foot-operated parking brake releases and can cause
accidental or sudden vehicle movement. When the vehicle is parked, make sure the key is in the
OFF position.
When you leave the vehicle, turn the key to the OFF position and remove from the switch to pre-
vent accidental operation.
Make sure the direction selector is in the correct position before you press the accelerator pedal.
Make sure you completely stop the vehicle before you move the direction selector to a different
position.
Do not take vehicle out of gear while in motion.
Before you drive in the reverse direction, make sure the area behind the vehicle is clear.
Driver and passengers must stay in their seats while the vehicle is in motion.
Always keep feet, legs, hands and arms inside vehicle while in motion.
Direction Selector Operation
To prevent loss of control, do not move the direction
selector to a different position while the vehicle is in
motion. If you move the selector, the speed will immedi-
ately decrease and a warning device will activate.
Move the direction selector to F (Forward) to move in the forward direc-
tion.
Move the direction selector to R (Reverse) to move in the reverse
direction. A reverse warning buzzer activates when the direction selec-
tor is moved to the R position.
The position between F and R is the neutral position.
When you leave the vehicle, put the direction selector in the forward position, engage the parking brake and remove the
key from the switch.
