OPERATION
Driving Safely
Driving in Reverse
This vehicle is equipped with a reverse speed limiter. The override
button should be used with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly
increased. Do not operate at wide open throttle. Open the throttle just
enough to maintain a desired speed.
Follow these precautions
when operating in reverse:
1. Always avoid backing
downhill.
2. Back slowly.
3. When in reverse, apply
the brakes lightly for
stopping.
4. Avoid turning at sharp
angles in reverse.
5. Never open the throttle
suddenly while backing.
6. Never activate the override button while the throttle is open. Loss
of control may result.
CAUTION
Opening the throttle more than required may cause fuel to build in
the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or engine damage.
WARNING
Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in
serious injury or death. Before shifting into reverse gear, always
check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle. When it’s safe
to proceed, back slowly.
Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required
for vehicle movement.
Avoid backing on inclines.
Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse.
