OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.
B
braking system is activated by this sequence of events,
the motor generates power that is returned to the batter-
ies.
When the vehicle speed is reduced below the maximum
by using the service brake, the speed will not increase
unless the throttle is increased. When the brake pedal is
released the vehicle will slow down as it does with pedal
up braking.
PEDAL-UP BRAKING
Pedal-up braking is regenerative braking that occurs
when the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle
is moving.
Example: If both of the following events occur:
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the accelerator pedal is released
the pedal-up braking will slow the vehicle until the vehi-
cle stops, or the accelerator pedal is applied. When
pedal-up braking system is activated by this sequence
of events, the motor generates power that is returned to
the batteries.

HIGH PEDAL DISABLE FEATURE

High pedal disable prevents acceleration if the key is
turned on while the accelerator is depressed.

STARTING AND DRIVING

All vehicles are equipped with an interlock system that
disables the controller and prevents the vehicle from be-
ing operated or towed while the charger is connected.
Remove the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle
and properly store the cable prior to moving the vehicle.
To operate the vehicle:
• Place the key in the key switch and turn it to the
'ON'/'N' position.
• Move the direction selector to the direction
desired.
• Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to start the
motor.
• When the accelerator pedal is released, the motor
controls the deceleration. To stop the vehicle more
quickly, depress the service brake pedal.
.
When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warn-
ing signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run
in reverse.

STARTING VEHICLE ON A HILL

The parking brake will activate automatically when the
vehicle comes to a stop. To start the vehicle on a hill de-
press the accelerator pedal and the parking brake will
be released.

COASTING

Uncontrolled coasting does not occur with this model.
However, this is not a substitute for the service brake
which should be used to slow the speed of the vehicle
quickly.
.
This model is equipped with a feature (pedal-up braking) that
slows the vehicle's speed when the accelerator pedal is
released until the vehicle stops.

LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS

Vehicles may be labeled with pictograms as a method of

from tree limbs or flying objects.
The sun top and windshield provide some protection
from the elements; however, they will not keep the oper-
ator and passenger dry in a downpour. This vehicle is
not equipped with seat belts and the sun top has not
been designed to provide roll-over protection. In addi-
tion, the sun top does not protect against falling objects
nor does the windshield protect against flying objects
and tree limbs. Keep arms and legs inside of the vehicle
while it is moving.
