Before attempting to tow vehicle, move
the Run-Tow/Maintenance switch to the
‘Tow/Maintenance’ position. Failure to do so will damage the
controller or motor.
Before disconnecting or connecting a battery, or any other wir-
ing, move the Run-Tow/Maintenance switch to the ‘Tow/Mainte-
nance’ position.
After connecting a battery, or any other wiring, wait a minimum
of 30 seconds before moving the Run-Tow/Maintenance switch
to the ‘Run’ position.
The PDS vehicle is equipped with a two position switch
located under the passenger side of the seat on the con-
troller environmental cover (Ref Fig. 7 on page 4).
With the switch in ‘TOW/MAINTENANCE’ position:
•
the controller is deactivated
•
the electronic braking system is deactivated which
allows the vehicle to be towed or roll freely
•
the warning beeper is deactivated
With the switch in ‘RUN’ position:
•
the controller is activated
•
the electronic braking system and warning beeper
features are activated
PDS vehicles operate only in the ’RUN’ posi-
tion.
The PDS is a low power consumption unit but it will drain
the vehicle batteries over a period of time. If the vehicle
is to be stored for a prolonged period of time, the PDS
should be disconnected from the batteries. See ‘Pro-
longed Storage’ on page 22.
HORN
The horn is operated by pushing the horn button located on
the floor to the left of the brake pedal (Ref Fig. 8 on page 4).
OPERATING THE VEHICLE
Improper use of the vehicle or the lack
of proper maintenance may result in
damage or decreased performance.

attempting to operate the vehicle.
To reduce the possibility
of severe injury or death
resulting from loss of
vehicle control, the following warnings must be
observed:
When driving vehicle, consider the terrain, traffic
conditions and the environmental factors which
