Anti-Roll Back Feature
Anti-Roll Back, like Walk-Away, limits reverse motion of the vehicle down a slope to less than 2 mph (3 kph). See Walk-
Away Feature for more information.
Anti-Stall Feature
Anti-Stall protection prevents motor damage if the vehicle is stalled against an object or on a hill.
Example: If all of the following events occur:
•
the system senses that the accelerator pedal is pressed (power applied to motor)
•
the motor is stopped long enough that additional time can cause damage to the motor
the Anti-Stall feature will interrupt power to the motor. This short interruption allows the vehicle to move backward slightly
before it stops again. The procedure will repeat at intervals until the vehicle is moved from the stopped condition.
Example: If all of the following events occur:
•
the system senses that the accelerator pedal is pressed (power applied to motor)
•
the brake is engaged to prevent vehicle motion
the Anti-Stall feature senses a stalled motor condition and removes power from the motor. When the brake pedal is
released, the vehicle will move backward slightly before power is returned to the motor.
High Pedal Disable Feature
High pedal disable prevents acceleration of the vehicle if the direction selector is changed or the key is turned on while
the accelerator is pressed.
Diagnostic Mode Feature
Diagnostic mode helps with fault diagnosis.
With some electrical system failures, the Diagnostic Mode feature defaults to a mode that allows the vehicle to operate at
a decreased speed.
This feature allows you to return the vehicle to the storage facility and identify the problem.
The technician can put the controller in diagnostic mode and the controller identifies the failure mode.
STARTING AND DRIVING
Remove the charger plug from the receptacle and correctly store the cable before you move the vehicle.
To operate the vehicle:
•
Apply the brake, put the key in the key switch and turn to the ON position.
•
Move the direction selector to the correct direction.
•
Press the brake pedal to release the parking brake.
•
Slowly press the accelerator pedal to start the motor and release the brake pedal.
•
When the accelerator pedal is released, the motor decreases the speed of the vehicle. To stop the vehicle
quickly, press the brake pedal.
When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warning signal activates to indicate that the vehicle is ready to
run in the reverse direction.
