DAILY CHECKS
 With the power turned off, check the throttle. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the
neutral position when you release it. Do not try to repair it. See your authorized provider if there is a problem.
 Visually inspect the tiller cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your
authorized provider if there is a problem.
 Check for fl at spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
 Inspect the armrests for loose hardware, stress points, or damage. See your authorized provider if there is a

3. Slowly pull the throttle forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the throttle. You
must be able to hear the electrical brake operating within a few seconds of throttle movement. Repeat this test
by pulling the throttle in the opposite direction.

 Check for proper tire infl ation, if equipped with pneumatic tires. If a tire does not hold air, contact your
