GENERAL INFORMATION & ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Read all of Section B and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings

STARTING THE VEHICLE

To start the vehicle: Place the key in the key switch and
turn to the 'ON' position. Move the direction selector to
the direction desired, release park brake and press the
accelerator pedal to start the vehicle.
When the direction selector is in the reverse
position, a warning signal will sound. This is a
device to indicate the vehicle is ready to run in reverse.
Releasing the accelerator slows the vehicle. To stop the
vehicle more quickly, depress the brake pedal.
To avoid component damage, the vehi-
cle must be brought to a complete stop
before shifting the direction selector switch.
Do not hold vehicle on hill by using accelerator and motor. Leav-
ing motor in a stalled condition for more than 3-4 seconds will
cause permanent damage to motor.

COASTING

!
mended speeds, limit speed with service brake.
On steep hills/ramps, it is possible for vehicles to coast at
faster than normal speeds that may be encountered on a
flat surface. To prevent loss of vehicle control, speeds
should be limited to no more than the maximum speed
on level ground (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS).
Limit speed by releasing the accelerator pedal and apply-
ing pressure to the heel of the pedal. Severe damage to
the drive train components due to excessive speed may
result from driving the vehicle above specified speed.
Damage caused by excessive speed may cause a loss
of control, is costly, is considered abuse and will not be
covered under warranty.
