FIRE EXTINGUISHER
If the vehicle application requires the installation of a fire extinguisher, the fire extinguisher must be
installed by an factory authorized technician. The fire extinguisher should be installed in a location
easily accessible by the driver and/or occupants and not interfere with any of the operator controls.
Towing the Vehicle
To tow this vehicle, attach a tow strap to the front bumper tow-bar.
Note: This vehicle is equipped with the automatic electric park brake. The brake must be bypassed
or removed before towing the vehicle.
Use another driver to steer this vehicle while it is being towed. Be sure the driver uses the
brakes when the towing vehicle slows or stops. Do not tow the vehicle faster than 5 m.p.h. or
its maximum designed speed, whichever is lower.
If at all possible, this vehicle should be placed on a carrier, rather than towing.
Park Brake Bypass Switch
This vehicle is equipped with an automatically
applied electric parking brake. Under normal driving
conditions, the parking brake will be applied when
the start switch is turned off or the operator leaves
the driver seat. It will also be applied if the control
system loses power such as when the emergency
stop switch is activated.
The parking brake is powered by the vehicle
battery. It will be applied whenever the batteries are
disconnected. It may be applied if the batteries are
severely discharged.
There is a switch on or near the control panel that can be used to bypass the brake and allow the
vehicle to be pushed or towed.
NOTICE
The bypass switch should not be left ON for more than 10 minutes. Leaving the switch ON
will discharge the batteries and may overheat and damage the brake and/or control system.
