WARNING
• If loaning the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and operating
procedures before allowing the vehicle to be driven.
• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the vehicle is moving. To avoid injury to an
unsuspecting passenger or damage to the vehicle, always bring the vehicle to a full stop
before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle.
• Release the accelerator pedal and then press the brake pedal firmly until the vehicle stops. To
avoid unintentionally starting or rolling the vehicle, set the park brake, place the Forward/
Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch to the OFF position, and remove
the key when leaving the vehicle.
• Do not tamper with the governor. Doing so will void the warranty, as well as damage the
engine and other components, and could result in property damage, personal injury, or death
due to unsafe speeds.

(Figure 3)

The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.
