OPERATING PROCEDURES
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Slow down before and during turns. All turns should be made at reduced speed.

Never drive the vehicle up or down a slope that exceeds 14° (25% grade).
Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for the vehicle load and seat capacity.
When you leave the vehicle, turn the key to the OFF position and remove from the switch to pre-

Incorrect and irresponsible operation of this vehicle can cause dangerous conditions for the operator, passengers and
other people in the area. Do not allow children or anyone without a license to operate the vehicle. Children may not have
the skill and ability to make good decisions or strength to operate the vehicle.
Drugs and alcohol decrease the ability of the driver to operate the vehicle safely. Always check with a medical profes-
sional before you operate the vehicle.
When you drive the vehicle at full speed on a dirt road, loose surface or wet grass, the necessary distance to stop the
vehicle increases. The necessary distance to stop a loaded vehicle is more than the necessary distance to stop a vehicle
without a load. In wet weather conditions, apply light pressure to the brakes to supply enough friction to dry the brake
unit. Wet brakes lose much of their effect.
If you drive on a steep hill and can not get enough traction, do not try to turn around on the hill. Slowly drive in reverse
and use the brake to control the speed.
Reduced vehicle range and performance can occur in steep terrain and low temperature operating conditions.

Regenerative Braking

This vehicle is equipped with a regenerative motor control system.
Example: If both of the following events occur:
a. The vehicle is being driven down a slope
b. The driver attempts to exceed the specified top speed with the accelerator pedal pressed or released
The regenerative braking will limit the speed of the vehicle to the specified top speed. When the regenerative braking
system is activated by this sequence of events, the motor generates power that is returned to the batteries.
When the vehicle speed is reduced below the maximum by using the service brake, the speed will not increase unless
