sound as a warning when the vehicle is in REVERSE.
8. Slowly depress accelerator pedal. The park brake will release automatically and the vehicle will start to
move. As the accelerator pedal is depressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
• TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING CONTROL OF OR OVERTURNING THE VEHICLE,
REDUCE SPEED FOR ADVERSE DRIVING CONDITIONS SUCH AS WET GRASS OR ROUGH
TERRAIN.
• DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE ON PUBLIC ROADS. IT IS NEITHER DESIGNED NOR INTENDED
FOR STREET USE AND SHOULD NOT BE LICENSED FOR USE ON PUBLIC ROADS.
• THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE DRIVEN IN ONLY SPECIFIED AREAS BY TRAINED DRIVERS.
• DO NOT DRIVE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS, OR MEDICATIONS.
• USE BRAKES TO LIMIT SPEED WHEN COASTING DOWNHILL.
• OPERATOR MUST CONTROL VEHICLE SPEED WHEN GOING DOWNHILL.
• NEVER SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF FORWARD WHILE GOING DOWNHILL. IF YOU DO, YOU
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE OR BACK INTO FORWARD UNTIL STOPPED.
• DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AS NECESSARY AND DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR
PARTIALLY WHEN DESCENDING A HILL. WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL PARTIALLY
DEPRESSED, THE GOVERNOR WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO ASSIST THE BRAKES IN
CONTROLLING DOWNHILL SPEED.
• IF THE FORWARD/REVERSE HANDLE IS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, POWER WILL BE CUT OFF
AND THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING.
• DRIVING THROUGH WATER MAY AFFECT THE BRAKES. AFTER DRIVING THROUGH WATER,
CHECK EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BRAKES BY GENTLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF
THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SLOW DOWN AT THE NORMAL RATE, CONTINUE TO DEPRESS THE
BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THE BRAKES DRY OUT AND NORMAL PERFORMANCE RETURNS.
