Brake Pedal
Use the brake pedal to stop or slow the vehicle (Fig. 14).
Brakes can become worn or can be misadjusted
resulting in personal injury.
If brake pedal travels to within 1 inch of the
vehicle floor board, the brakes must be adjusted or
repaired.
Caution
Parking Brake
The parking brake is a small plate at the top of the brake
pedal (Fig. 14). Whenever you stop the vehicle, engage the
parking brake to prevent accidental movement of the
vehicle. To engage the parking brake, step on the brake
pedal firmly and roll forward with the top of your foot. To
disengage, press the accelerator or brake pedal. If the
vehicle is parked on a steep grade, apply the parking brake
and place blocks on the downhill side of the wheels.
On/Off Switch
The On/Off switch (Fig. 15), used to activate the electrical
systems of the vehicle, has two positions: Off and On.
Rotate the key clockwise to the On position to allow
operation of the vehicle and accessories. After stopping the
vehicle, rotate the key counterclockwise to the Off position.
Remove the key before leaving the vehicle.

Battery/Hour Meter
The battery/hour meter provides you with an indication of
how much charge is contained in the batteries (Fig. 15 and
19) and the number of operating hours on the vehicle. The
battery meter is located at the top of the LCD screen.
When the vehicle batteries are fully charged, ten bars
extend from the 0 to the 1 position. As the charge is used,
bars disappear starting on the right side. For detailed
information on the battery meter, refer to Understanding
and Using the Battery System; page 21.
The hour meter is located at the bottom of the LCD screen.
It logs operating hours whenever the key is in the On
position and the vehicle is in motion.
Vehicle Direction Switch
Use this switch (Fig. 15) to toggle between forward and
reverse operation.
Vehicle Status Light
This light communicates the status of the vehicle as
determined by the on board computer. Always check this
light when you turn the On/Off switch to the On position
(Fig. 15). The light flashes at various intervals for different
problems and events. When there are no problems and the
vehicle is operational, the light is on. If the light blinks,
refer to Troubleshooting, page 37, for a description of the
flash codes.
