STARTING AND DRIVING
To reduce the possibility of roll-back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do
not release service brake until engine has started.
To operate vehicle:
•
Apply the service brake, place the key in the key switch and turn it to the ‘ON’ position.
•
Move the direction selector to the direction desired.
•
Release the park brake by pushing the park brake lever downward towards the floor.
•
Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to start the engine. Release service brake when engine starts.
•
When the accelerator pedal is released, the ignition circuit is de-energized and the engine stops. To stop the
vehicle more quickly, depress the
service brake pedal
When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warning signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run in
reverse.
STARTING THE VEHICLE ON A HILL
To reduce the possibility of roll-back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do
not release service brake until engine has started.
Do not hold vehicle on hill by using accelerator and engine. This will cause premature and excessive wear to drive
train components.
To reduce the possibility of permanent damage to the drive system, it is important to prevent excessive roll-back
when starting the vehicle on a hill.
Place left foot on service brake and release the park brake. Depress accelerator with right foot and release the ser-
vice brake by lifting left foot.
COASTING
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from coasting at above recommended speeds,
limit speed with service brake.
On steep hills, it is possible for the vehicle to coast at greater than normal speeds encountered on a flat surface. To
reduce the possible loss of vehicle control and severe drivetrain damage, speeds should be limited to no more than
the maximum governed speed on level ground (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS). Limit speed by applying service
brake.
