PERATION
ACCELERATING
Accidental movement of the accelerator pedal can cause the vehicle to suddenly move
and cause severe injury or death.
Make sure the key is in the OFF position and the parking brake is engaged any time the
vehicle is parked.
1. Release the parking brake.
2. Move the key switch to the desired direction.
3. Apply slow, steady pressure to the accelerator pedal to increase vehicle speed. When you release the accelera -
tor pedal, the motor decreases the speed of the vehicle.
NOTICE: If the key switch is in the F, N, or R position and the parking brake is engaged, the brake releases
when you press the accelerator pedal and can cause the vehicle to move suddenly. This is a feature
to make sure the vehicle is not driven with the parking brake engaged. Pressing the accelerator
pedal is not the recommended method to release the parking brake.
BRAKING
When carrying cargo or towing a trailer, the weight of the load will increase the braking
distance required to slow or stop the vehicle. Not allowing for increased braking dis -
tance under load can cause an accident or injury.
1. Release the accelerator pedal completely.
NOTICE: Pressing the top section of the brake pedal engages the parking brake.
2. Press the brake pedal to slow vehicle speed or stop the vehicle completely.
3. Practice slowing and stopping using the brake to become familiar with the controls.
Coasting
Do not allow the vehicle to coast at above recommended speeds. Control vehicle speed
with the brake.
The vehicle has a braking feature (pedal-up) that decreases the speed when the accelerator pedal is released. The
feature continues to decrease the speed until the vehicle stops. Press the brake if you need to decrease speed or stop
the vehicle quickly.
