Driving Safely

Driving in Reverse

Follow these precautions when operating in reverse:
1. Avoid backing downhill.
2. Always check for obsta-
cles or people behind the
vehicle before backing.
3. Drive slowly.
4. Apply the foot brake
lightly for stopping.
5. Avoid turning at sharp
angles.
6. Do not use the override
switch unless additional
power is required for vehicle movement. Use with caution.
Tip: Reverse speed is greatly increased when the override switch is used. Do
not operate at full throttle. Apply just enough throttle to maintain the desired
speed.
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.
Always follow the procedures outlined
in this manual for driving in reverse.
