AutoBrake Operation
As your X-Series travels downhill with the power switched ON , turn the Accelerator downward to a slower setting.
Your X-Series will slow down and give you a feeling of security as you travel
down the hill.
If the slope is extremely steep, you may turn the Function Switch OFF , which will provide approximately 50% more
braking power than just turning the Accelerator to its slowest setting. If this is too much braking power, alternate
turning the Function switch
OFF and ON until you reach the bottom of the hill.
IMPORTANT: If you must tow your X-Series either forward or backward, always place it into
Free-Wheeling Mode FIRST! Gear damage may result from pulling or pushing your X-Series with great force or for
long distances. Damage incurred from failure to disengage drive wheels from gear train is NOT covered by warranty.
See Free-Wheeling instructions on page 35 & 36 .
AutoBrake is not intended to stop your X-Series. Rather, it is used for decreasing speed when going down hills.
AutoBrake does not function as a parking brake. Therefore, always make sure your X-Series is turned sideways
when stopped on a slope.
