Note: Your vehicle may not include all switches identified. Some of the switches in photo are
optional.
1) Turn Signal Switch
The turn signal switch lever is located on the
left side of the steering column. Push the lever
forward to activate the right turn signal and pull
the lever back to activate the left turn signal. The
switch is not self canceling. You must return the
switch to the center, off position after the turn
is completed.
2) Hazard Light Switch
The hazard light switch is located on the Turn
Signal Switch. The switch is a small tab or
knob under the turn signal lever. To activate
the hazard lights, pull the tab out. To turn the
hazard lights off, push the turn signal lever
forward or back.
3) Steering
The steering wheel and steering system are
similar to an automobile. To turn right, turn the
steering wheel clockwise. To turn left, turn the
steering wheel counter-clockwise.
4) Foot Brake Pedal
The foot brake pedal is located to the left of
the throttle pedal. This pedal is designed for
operation with the drivers right foot. It works
similar to the brake in an automobile. Applying
pressure to the brake pedal slows the vehicle
according to the amount of pressure applied.
Relieving pressure from the pedal releases the
braking action.
5) Throttle Pedal
The throttle pedal is located to the right of the
brake pedal. It controls the speed of the vehicle
and operates similar to the throttle pedal in
an automobile. Depress the pedal to increase
speed and release the pedal to decrease speed.

WARNING
The park brake should be
disabled for servicing or towing
procedures only. Do not operate
the vehicle while the automatic
park brake is disabled. Operating
the vehicle with the automatic
park brake disabled could lead
to severe bodily injury and/or
property damage.

Parking Brake, Automatic

This vehicle may be equipped with an optional
automatically actuated electromagnetic parking
brake.
During normal operation, the parking brake will
be applied when the throttle pedal is released
and the motor comes to a stop. The brake
will release again when the throttle pedal is
depressed.
Unless in an emergency, do not turn the start
switch OFF while the vehicle is in motion.
Turning the start switch OFF will immediately
apply the parking brake, stopping the vehicle and
result in accelerated wear of the brake.
Some motor control system faults will result
in parking brake application or failure of the
brake to release. Should this occur, there is a
brake bypass switch that will release the brake
and allow the vehicle to be moved. For more
information, Refer to Towing This Vehicle later
in this manual.
The brake bypass switch will not function if the
batteries are disconnected or there is a failure
in the vehicle power supply. Should this occur
and the vehicle must be moved then the drive
wheels must be placed on a towing dolly or the
brake removed from the motor.

Seat Adjustment

The seats are fixed, with no adjustments. Make
sure that the driver seat is positioned properly
to engage the seat interlock switch.
