WARNING!

Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally
set the system or cause it to go faster than you want.
You could lose control and have an accident. Always
leave the system OFF when you are not using it.

To Set At A Desired Speed:

down on the lever and release. Release the accelerator
and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed.

NOTE:

The vehicle should be traveling at a steady

speed and on level ground before pressing the SET lever.
