Holding onto or attaching a leash to walk your pet.

Carrying passengers (including pets).

Hanging any article from the tiller.

Towing or being pushed by another motorized vehicle.

operating your vehicle. This driving position gives you the most control over your vehicle.

 Press your thumb against the appropriate side of the throttle control lever.
 The electromechanical disc park brake automatically disengages and the vehicle accelerates smoothly to the
speed you preselected with the speed adjustment dial.
 Pull on the left handgrip to steer your vehicle to the left.
 Pull on the right handgrip to steer your vehicle to the right.
 Move the tiller to the center position to drive straight ahead.
 To stop, slowly release the throttle control lever. The electronic brakes will automatically engage when your
vehicle comes to a stop.
NOTE: Your vehicle's reverse speed is slower than that of the forward speed you preset with the speed adjustment dial.
GETTING OFF OF YOUR VEHICLE
1. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Remove the key from the key switch.
WARNING! Never attempt to get onto or off of your vehicle without fi rst removing the key from
the key switch. This will prevent the vehicle from moving if accidental throttle control lever
contact is made.
3. Disengage the seat rotation lever and rotate the seat until you are facing toward the side of your vehicle.
4. Make certain that the seat is secured into position.
5. Carefully and safely get out of the seat and stand to the side of your vehicle.

POWER DOWN TIMER FEATURE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic power down timer feature designed to prevent your vehicle from
moving if left unattended. If you mistakenly leave the key in the "on" position but do not use your vehicle for
approximately 20 minutes, the vehicle's controller shuts down automatically. Although the controller is shut
down, power will still be supplied to the vehicle's electrical system.
If the power down timer feature takes eff ect, perform the following steps to resume normal operation.
1. Remove the key from the key switch.
2. Reinsert the key and power up your vehicle.
