OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Page 6
Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Vehicle Without PDS
To prevent injury or death resulting from coast-
ing at above recommended speeds, limit speed
with foot brake.
On steep hills, it is possible for non-PDS vehicles to
coast at faster than normal speeds that may be encoun-
tered on a flat surface. To prevent loss of vehicle control,
speeds should be limited to no more than the maximum
speed on level ground (see GENERAL SPECIFICA-
TIONS). Limit speed by releasing the accelerator and
applying foot brake. Severe damage to the drive train
components due to excessive speed may result from
driving the vehicle above specified speed. Damage
caused by excessive speed may cause a loss of control,
is costly, is considered abuse and will not be covered
under warranty.
Performance
PDS vehicles operate only when the Run - Tow/Maintenance/
Storage switch is in the ’RUN’ position. (Refer to Run - Tow/
Maintenance/Storage Switch (48V PDS VEHICLES ONLY) on
page 3)
The options are defined as follows (Ref Fig. 7 on page 6)
The vehicle’s top speed is sensed and regulated directly
by the controller and the feature to slow the vehicle when
the accelerator pedal is up is mild.
Speed Control
To prevent the possibility of loss of control that
could cause severe injury or death, use foot
brake to control speed. The PDS system is not
a substitute for the foot brake.
PDS models are equipped with a motor control system.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the vehicle attempts to exceed the specified top
speed with the accelerator pedal depressed or
released
the motor control system will limit the speed of the vehi-
cle to the specified top speed (the warning beeper will
not sound). When the system is activated by this
sequence of events, the motor generates power which is
returned to the batteries.
If the operator attempts to override the feature by moving
the direction selector or key switch to another position,
the warning beeper will sound and the vehicle will slow
rapidly until it reaches the speed of approximately 2 mph
(3 kph).
Pedal-Up Feature
The pedal-up feature slows the vehicle when the acceler-
ator pedal is released while the vehicle is moving
between 8 mph (13 kph) and the vehicle’s top speed.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the accelerator pedal is released for more than
one second
the pedal-up feature will slow the vehicle (the warning
beeper will
not sound) until either the vehicle speed is
reduced to 8 mph (13 kph), at which it freely coasts
between 8 and 3 mph (5 kph), or the accelerator pedal is
applied. When pedal-up feature is activated by this
sequence of events, the motor generates power which is
returned to the batteries.
Walk-Away Feature
Walk-Away limits vehicle movement without driver input,
slowing the vehicle to 2 mph (3 kph) and sounding an
audible alarm (reverse beeper).
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle has been stopped for more than 1.5
seconds
b) the accelerator pedal has been released for more
than one second
c) the vehicle begins to roll above 2 mph (3 kph)
the walk-away feature will limit speed to approximately 2
mph (3 kph) and the warning beeper will sound. When
the accelerator pedal is depressed, the walk-away fea-
ture and warning beeper will be overridden and normal
vehicle operation resumes. Any unusual situation sensed
by the PDS system will cause a similar response. The
system functions in all key switch positions.
