Driving
Before operating this vehicle:
• Perform all daily and pre-operation checks as defined in the Vehicle maintenance section.
•
Refer to General Safety Guidelines at the beginning of this chapter.
Selecting Direction of Travel
The direction of travel is selected with the Shift Lever. The direction of travel must be selected
after
the Start switch is turned ON. If a direction is selected before the Start switch is turned ON,
then a sequence fault will occur. If the sequence fault occurs, you can clear the fault by placing
the Shift Lever in the center OFF position and then re-selecting the desired direction of travel.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a reverse or motion alarm.
•
The motion alarm will sound in forward and reverse.
•
The reverse alarm will only sound when the reverse direction is selected.
Changing Direction of Travel
The direction selected by the Shift Lever can be changed at any time but you may have to
release the throttle pedal to reverse direction.
If the vehicle is in motion when the direction is changed, the motor control system will reverse the
current flow in the motor slowing the vehicle
to a stop and then continue in the new
direction selected. For more information,
refer to the section on Stopping.
The throttle pedal must be released after
selecting a new direction. If the pedal is not
released, then a sequence fault will occur.
If the sequence fault occurs, you can clear
the fault by placing the Shift Lever in the
center OFF position and then re-selecting
the desired direction of travel.
DO NOT exceed the maximum rated speed for your vehicle, locally imposed speed
limits, or the safe operating speed for conditions. Exceeding any of these speed limits will
increase the likelihood of an accident causing personal injury. In addition, exceeding the
maximum rated speed for your vehicle may result in damage to the vehicle drive train
and/or control system.
WARNING
DO NOT “ride the brakes” or drive with your left foot resting on the brake pedal. Riding
the brakes will cause excessive heat build up and rapid wear in the brake system and
could result in brake failure causing a collision or accident with severe injury.
WARNING
Do not coast with the Shift Lever in the center
OFF position. Shortly after the shift lever is
in the OFF position, the hydraulic pump will
turn off causing significantly more effort to
steer and stop the vehicle. This may make
the vehicle difficult to control resulting in
property damage and/or severe bodily injury.
