PERFORMANCE INSPECTION
After you have familiarized yourself with the vehicle controls and have read and understood the driving
instructions, take the vehicle for a test drive.
Use the following list, in addition to the Pre-Operation and Daily Safety Checklist, as a guide to inspect the
vehicle daily for proper operation. Any problems should be corrected by a dealer/distributor or a trained tech-
nician.
• Forward/Reverse shifter:
Check for proper operation.
See Controls and Indicators on page 10.
• Brakes:
Be sure the brakes function properly. When brake pedal is fully pressed under moderate pres-
sure, the vehicle should come to a smooth, straight stop. If the vehicle swerves or fails to stop, have
the brake system checked and adjusted as required. When the brake pedal is fully pressed under
heavy pressure, the pedal should feel firm and the distance between the back of the pedal and the
floorboard should be a minimum of 1.25 inches (3.2 cm). Brake adjustment must be maintained so the
brake pedal cannot be pressed to the floorboard under any circumstance.
• Park brake:
When latched, the park brake should lock the wheels and hold the vehicle stationary on an
incline of 20% or less.
• Reverse buzzer:
The reverse buzzer should sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is
in the REVERSE position.
• Steering:
The vehicle should be easy to steer and should not have any play in the steering wheel. Be
sure the steering wheel adjustment lever is securely locked into position.
• Accelerator:
After starting the engine with the key switch and placing the Forward/Reverse handle in
the FORWARD position, the vehicle should accelerate smoothly to full speed as the accelerator pedal
is pressed. When the pedal is released it should return to the original position, and the engine should
idle. This vehicle operates at a reduced speed in reverse.
• Governor:
Check maximum vehicle speed. The vehicle should operate in forward at a maximum
speed of 25 mph (40 km/h) on a level surface.
• General:
Listen for any unusual noises such as squeaks or rattles. Check the vehicle’s ride and perfor-
mance. Have a dealer or a trained technician investigate anything unusual.
