WARNING!
•
Ensure that you are behind the curbside steering
wheel and fully ready to operate the vehicle before you
release either the parking brake or work brake. This lat-
ter action will actuate any auto neutral feature and
cause the transmission to engage. You could be
injured or cause property damage due to unexpected
vehicle movement if you are not in position & ready.
•
Do not operate vehicle in excess of 20 mph (32 kph)
from a stand-up position. Driving faster while standing
up, without seat or seatbelt, is dangerous and could
lead to an accident and possible serious personal injury.
NOTE:
•A shift shock eliminator will not allow a shift from neutral to
either a forward or reverse gear when the engine speed is
over 900 rpm.
•When shifting between transmission ranges, keep the
pushbutton depressed until the indicator light for the
selected range comes on, indicating the shift is complete.
