Driving Safely
1. Sit in the driver’s seat and fasten the seat belt (as described earlier).
2. After starting the engine and allowing it to warm up, press the brake pedal and shift the transmission into gear.
3. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.
4. Disengage the parking brake.
5. Keeping both hands on the steering wheel, with thumbs on the outside, take your foot off the brake pedal and slowly press the throttle
with your right foot and begin driving. Vehicle speed is controlled by the amount the pedal is pressed.
6. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and brakes on level surfaces.
7. Never operate at speeds too fast for your skills or the conditions at hand.
NOTE:
The high/low transmission enables the driver to better control the vehicle on different terrains and applications.
When driving with heavy loads, use the low gear.
