Environmental Concerns; Starting And Driving - Bad Boy INSTINCT Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
This vehicle is not a toy. If not operated properly and responsibly, it can cause severe injury or death to the operator,
passengers or bystanders. All operators should possess a valid driver's license. Children should not be permitted to
operate the vehicle. Children may not have the skill, judgement or strength to operate this or similar vehicles.
Alcohol, drugs and many over the counter medications reduce the ability of the driver to operate the vehicle safely.
Always review side effects of any medication with a doctor or pharmacist before operating vehicle.
Protective clothing and an approved motorcycle helmet are recommended for operator and passengers when operating
vehicle in rough or densely wooded terrain.
When driving at full speed on a dirt road, loose surfaces or wet grass, vehicle stopping distance will increase. If the vehi-
cle is fully loaded, it will take longer to stop than with no load. When operating vehicle in wet weather conditions, remem-
ber that the brakes may need to be lightly applied in order to provide enough friction to dry the brake unit. If wet, the
brakes will lose much of their effect.
Slow down when in unfamiliar terrain. Slow down when cresting a hill in an area that you are unfamiliar with.

Some hills are too steep to climb. If you attempt to climb a hill that is too steep or if you are unable to achieve adequate
traction, do not attempt to turn around on the hill. Slowly back straight down the hill using the service brake to
control speed.

STARTING AND DRIVING

• Make certain that the parking brake is engaged
• Make sure that the accelerator pedal is NOT depressed (no pressure on it)
• Make certain that the forward/reverse switch is in the neutral position
• Turn the key switch to the ON position and wait 3 - 5 seconds for the controllers to power up
• Release the parking brake fully
• Depress the accelerator pedal to move the buggy
Operation of this vehicle is limited to persons who are licensed drivers.
A two minute delay is programmed into the controllers; this causes the controllers to power down after two minutes of
accelerator inactivity. To reset the accelerator, the forward/reverse switch must be cycled from forward or reverse to
neutral and back to the desired direction before the buggy will move.
Always ensure that the forward/reverse switch is in the neutral position, the parking brake is set, the key switch is in
the OFF position and the key is removed from the switch before exiting the buggy.
This vehicle is to be operated by licensed drivers only. Do not attempt to operate the buggy under the influence of
drugs or alcohol. Never turn the key switch to OFF while the buggy is in motion, this can cause loss of control and lead
to serious injury or death.
Use caution when traveling uphill or downhill; on a downhill slope it is possible for the buggy to achieve speeds greater
than if it were operating on flat terrain. Speed on an uphill slope should be limited to not more than 5 mph and in a
downhill situation must be limited to 5 mph by using the service brake to slow the vehicle. If allowed to travel too fast
on a downhill slope loss of control may occur, this can cause serious injury or death.
