USING THE EMERGENCY DRIVE MODULE
In the event of an emergency involving the failure of
the steering wheel potentiometer, the transmission
selector, the speed pedal potentiometer or the micro-
controller, the emergency drive module can be used.
This module must only be used for an emergency
return to base. Do not use it under any other cir-
cumstance.

On arrival, secure the vehicle. Then, remove the emer-
gency drive module and repair the vehicle drive sys-
tem as soon as possible.
NOTE : When using the emergency drive module, the
maximum speed of the vehicle is slightly reduced and
the anti-stall feature is disabled.
Additionally, the LCD display will show fewer informa-
tion since the microcontroller is disabled while the
module is in operation.
WARNING
Accident hazard
The emergency drive module does not provide
the same precision as the steering wheel. The
operator could lose control of the vehicle which
may result in severe injuries or death.
Read and understand the following installation
and operation procedures before using the
emergency drive module. Proceed slowly with
utmost care and caution on return trip to base.
