WARNING
• Operator must control vehicle speed when going downhill.
• Do not shift the vehicle out of forward while going downhill. If you do, you will not be able to
shift into reverse or back into forward until stopped.
• Press the brake pedal as necessary and partially press the accelerator when descending a
hill. With the accelerator pedal partially pressed, the governor will cause the engine to assist
the brakes in controlling downhill speed.
NOTE: If the Forward/Reverse handle is shifted into the NEUTRAL position, power will be cut off and the
engine will stop running.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE

WARNING
• Driving through water may affect the brakes. After driving through water, check effectiveness
of the brakes by gently pressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle does not slow down at the
normal rate, continue to press the brake pedal until the brakes dry out and normal
performance returns.
∆
CAUTION
• When stopped on a hill, use the brake pedal to hold your position. Do not use the accelerator
pedal.
To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal with your right foot until the vehi-
cle comes to a complete stop.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1. After stopping the vehicle, firmly press the park brake pedal until it locks. This will prevent the vehicle from
rolling.

Remove the key and turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position when the vehicle is not in
use (Figure 12, Page 21).
