Transporting on a Trailer
7.
Start the vehicle:
7.1. Turn the key to the ON position.
7.2. Release the park brake.
7.3. Select direction by placing the Forward/Reverse switch in the desired position (F = forward or R = reverse).
A buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse switch is in the REVERSE position.
7.4. Release the brake pedal completely, and then slowly press the accelerator pedal. As the accelerator pedal
is pressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached.
See following WARNING.
WARNING
• Operator must control vehicle speed when going downhill.
• Motor braking may be used to help control speed when going downhill; however, steep terrain or other
conditions may require that pedal braking be used in conjunction with motor braking.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
WARNING
• Driving through water may affect the brakes. After driving through water, check effectiveness of the
brakes by gently pressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle does not slow down at the normal rate,
continue to press the brake pedal until the brakes dry out and normal performance returns.
CAUTION
• When stopped on a hill, use the brake pedal to hold your position. Do not use the accelerator pedal
to hold position.
To stop vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal until vehicle comes to a complete stop.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1.
After stopping vehicle, firmly press the park brake pedal until it locks. Make sure it is fully engaged.
2.
Turn the key switch to the OFF position and place the Forward/Reverse switch in the NEUTRAL position. Remove
the key when the vehicle is not in use.
– When the Tow/Run switch is in the RUN position (with the Forward/Reverse switch or key switch in any
position), the walk-away braking function is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling at more than 1 to 3
mph (1.5 to 4.8 km/h) on slopes of less than 20% unless the accelerator is pressed.
