KEY SWITCH
The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column (Figure 3) . It has two positions, OFF
and ON, which are clearly labeled. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.
FORWARD/REVERSE SWITCH
The Forward/Reverse rocker switch is located on the seat support panel, below and to the right of the driver’s
right knee. The F (FORWARD) and R (REVERSE) positions are clearly marked. Push down the FORWARD
side of the switch to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or push down the REVERSE side of the
switch to operate the vehicle in reverse. When the rocker switch is positioned in the NEUTRAL position, with
neither side down, the vehicle will not operate if the accelerator pedal is pressed (Figure 4) . The reverse
buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse switch is in the REVERSE position.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it (Figure 5, Page 13) . The
operation of the accelerator pedal differs from that of an automobile. When the key switch is ON, and the For-
ward/Reverse switch is in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position, pressing the accelerator pedal will
automatically release the park brake and start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (forward or
reverse). As the accelerator pedal is pressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached. When the accel-
erator is released, power will be cut off and the motor will stop running.
NOTE: See “pedal-up” and “pedal-down” motor braking on page 19.
