SAFETY RULES AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Towing the Vehicle

WARNING
ALWAYS use another driver to steer this vehicle
while it is being towed.
DO NOT block or otherwise tie the treadle down to
release the brake. Blocking the treadle down may
result in uncontrolled movement of the vehicle
causing severe bodily injury and/or property
damage.
WARNING
DO NOT tow a vehicle with a tow strap if the vehicle
brakes are not working properly. Using a strap to
tow a vehicle with no brakes may result in loss of
control of both vehicles causing severe bodily injury
and/or property damage.
WARNING
DO NOT tow the vehicle faster than 5 mph (8 kph)
or its maximum designed speed, whichever is lower.
Towing the vehicle faster than 5 mph may result in
one or more of the following:
• Loss of control of both vehicles causing severe
bodily injury and/or property damage.
• Damage to the towed vehicle drive train
components and/or motor.
WARNING
Use extreme caution if towing a vehicle backwards
and it is recommended ONLY to tow a short distance
until able to connect to the front tow bar and tow
forwards.
If towed backwards, the towed vehicle may swing
wide turning turns resulting in loss of control of
both vehicles causing severe bodily injury and/or
property damage
Note: If at all possible, this vehicle should be placed on
a carrier, rather than towing.
Attach a tow strap to the front bumper tow-bar.
Turn the start switch off and place the direction control
switch in the center off position.
Use another driver to steer this vehicle while it is being
towed.
Press the front of the treadle while being towed and use
the rear of the treadle to brake when the towing vehicle
slows or stops.
Do not tow the vehicle faster than 5 m.p.h. or its
maximum designed speed, whichever is lower.
