Riding Safely

Backing Up

Backing Up

1. When backing up, 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 override button while throttle is open. Loss of control

may result.

NOTE: 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. Only open

the throttle enough to maintain a desired speed. Opening the throttle

more than required may cause excessive fuel to build in the exhaust,

resulting in engine popping and/or engine damage.

WARNING

or death.
