Foot Brake Pedal
The foot brake pedal, is located to the right of the steering column, it is for
operation with the right foot only. It works similar to the brake in an
automobile. Applying pressure to the brake pedal slows the vehicle
according to the amount of pressure applied. Relieving pressure from the
pedal releases the braking action.
Park Brake
The parking brake is actuated with a hand lever, which is located between
the driver and passenger seats. To set the parking brake, push down on
the brake pedal and pull the lever up until it locks. To release the park
brake, depress the foot brake pedal, pull up on the park brake handle,
push the release button, and lower the handle.
Horn Switch
The horn switch is located to the left of the steering column. Depress the
switch with your left foot to sound the horn, release it to turn it off.
Seat Interlock Switch
A switch located under the driver's seat disables the power to the vehicle
when the driver leaves the seat. The driver must be seated for the vehicle
to operate.
Whenever the driver leaves the seat, they should turn the key-switch off,
place the forward-reverse switch in the center “OFF” position, and set the
park brake.
The seat interlock switch is only one part of the vehicle safety system.
The interlock switch should not be relied upon as the only safety
feature used to disable or disengage this vehicle. Doing so could result
in unexpected movement of the vehicle causing severe bodily injury
and/or property damage.
