OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
COASTING
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from coasting at above rec-
ommended speeds, limit speed with service brake.
Uncontrolled coasting does not occur with PDS model vehicles because the PDS controls the top speed of the vehicle
while moving down hill. However, the PDS is not a substitute for the service brake which should be used to control the
speed of the vehicle.
Some PDS models are equipped with a feature (pedal-up braking) which slows the vehicle’s speed when the accel-
erator pedal is released.
On steep hills, it is possible for non-PDS vehicles to coast at faster than normal speeds that may be encountered on a flat
surface. To prevent loss of vehicle control, speeds should be limited to no more than the maximum speed on level ground
(see vehicle specification). Limit speed by releasing the accelerator and applying service brake. Severe damage to the
drive train components due to excessive speed may result from driving the vehicle above specified speed. Damage caused
by excessive speed may cause a loss of control, is costly, is considered abuse and will not be covered under warranty.
Sun Top And Windshield
The sun top does not provide protection from roll-over or falling objects.
The windshield does not provide protection from tree limbs or flying objects.
The sun top and windshield provide some protection from the elements; however, they will not keep the operator and pas-
senger dry in a downpour. This vehicle is not equipped with seat belts and the sun top has not been designed to provide
roll-over protection. In addition, the sun top does not protect against falling objects nor does the windshield protect against
flying objects and tree limbs. Keep arms and legs inside of the vehicle while it is moving.
