• When the accelerator pedal is released, the motor controls the deceleration. To stop the vehicle more quickly,
depress the service brake pedal.
When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warning signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run in
reverse.
Starting Vehicle On A Hill
To reduce the possibility of roll-back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do
not release the service brake until motor has started
.
Do not hold vehicle on hill by using accelerator and motor. Leaving motor in a stalled condition for more than 3 - 4
seconds will cause permanent damage to motor.
To reduce the possibility of permanent damage to the drive system, it is important to prevent excessive roll-back
when starting the vehicle on a hill.
Place left foot on service brake and release the park brake. Depress accelerator with right foot and release the ser-
vice brake by lifting the left foot.
Coasting
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from coasting at above recommended speeds,
limit speed with service brake.
Uncontrolled coasting does not occur with this model. However, this is not a substitute for the service brake which
should be used to slow the speed of the vehicle quickly.
This model is equipped with a feature (pedal-up braking) that slows the vehicle’s speed when the accelerator pedal is released
until the vehicle stops.
Labels and Pictograms

this manual explains the labels that are used on this vehicle.
Sun Top And Windshield
The sun top does not provide protection from roll-over or falling objects.

The sun top and windshield provide some protection from the elements; however, they will not keep the operator and
passenger dry in a downpour. This vehicle is not equipped with seat belts and the sun top has not been designed to
provide roll-over protection. In addition, the sun top does not protect against falling objects nor does the windshield
protect against flying objects and tree limbs. Keep arms and legs inside of the vehicle while it is moving.
