Performance; Speed Control; Pedal-Up Braking; Terrain - Cushman Shuttle 2 Owner's Manual

Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.

Performance

Vehicles operate only when the Run - Tow/Maintenance/Storage switch is in the 'RUN' position.
The options are defined as follows: The vehicle's top speed is sensed and regulated directly by the controller and the
feature to slow the vehicle when the accelerator pedal is up is mild.
Performance Top Speed
15 mph
(24 kph)

Speed Control

To prevent the possibility of loss of control that could cause severe injury or death, use service
brake to control speed. The Speed control system is not a substitute for the service brake.
Speed control system vehicles are equipped with a regenerative motor control system.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the vehicle attempts to exceed the specified top speed with the accelerator pedal depressed or released
the regenerative braking will limit the speed of the vehicle to the specified top speed (the warning beeper will not
sound). When the regenerative braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power
which is returned to the batteries.
If the operator attempts to override the regenerative braking feature by moving the direction selector or key switch to
another position, the warning beeper will sound and the vehicle will brake rapidly until it reaches the speed of
approximately 2 mph (3 kph).

Pedal-Up Braking

Pedal-up braking is regenerative braking that occurs when the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle is
moving between 8 mph (13 kph) and the vehicle's top speed.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the accelerator pedal is released for more than one second
the pedal-up braking will slow the vehicle (the warning beeper will not sound) until either the vehicle speed is
reduced to 8 mph (13 kph), at which it freely coasts between 8 and 3 mph (5 kph), or the accelerator pedal is applied.
When pedal-up braking system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power which is returned
to the batteries.

Terrain

The vehicle is designed for use on improved roads (but not on public highways). The vehicle may also be used on
established trails or open terrain that is free from stumps, large rocks or holes.
The vehicle should not be used to cross water.
