WARNING
Avoid driving through water as doing so may damage the drive motor and also reduce braking
performance. If driving through water cannot be avoided, check brake operation by gently
applying pressure to ensure normal operation occurs.
CAUTION
When stationary on a hill, use the footbrake or parking brake to hold position. Do not use the
accelerator pedal. Holding the accelerator pedal will reduce the life of the batteries and motor.
