Driving in Reverse

Follow these precautions
when operating in reverse:
1. Avoid backing
downhill.
2. Always check for
obstacles or people
behind the vehicle
before backing.
3. Drive slowly.
4. Apply the brakes lightly
for stopping.
5. Avoid turning at sharp
angles.
6. Never apply the throttle suddenly.
WARNING
Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in
serious injury or death. Before shifting into reverse, always come
to a complete stop and check for obstacles or people behind the
vehicle. When it's safe to proceed, back slowly. Avoid backing on
inclines. Avoid turning at sharp angles.
Do not use the override switch unless additional power is required
for vehicle movement. Use with caution.
NOTE: The override switch should be used with caution as rearward
vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at wide
open throttle. Open the throttle just enough to maintain a
desired speed.
CAUTION
Excessive throttle operation while in the speed limit mode may
cause fuel to build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping
and/or engine damage.
