WARNING!
Risk of injury from the unintended rolling of the
vehicle
When stopping the vehicle, the drive lever needs to
return entirely to the middle position to activate the
electromagnetic brakes. If there is any obstruction
stopping the lever from returning to the middle position,
the electromagnetic brakes cannot be activated. This can
lead to the vehicle rolling unintentionally.
– Ensure that the drive lever is in the middle position, if
the vehicle is to remain stationary.
