ELECTRIC THREE WHEEL SERVICE VEHICLE
Read all of manual to become familiar with this vehicle. Pay attention to all NOTICES, CAUTIONS,WARNINGS and DANGERS.
NOTICE
If the vehicle is equipped with manufacturer installed custom
accessories, some accessories remain operational with the key
switch in the 'OFF' position.
Direction Selector
The direction selector is located on the instrument panel
(Ref Fig. 5). This lever permits the selection of forward
(F), neutral (N) or reverse (R). It should be left in (N)
when the vehicle is unattended.
To prevent component damage, the vehicle must be
completely stopped before moving the direction
selector.
State of Charge Meter
Located on the instrument panel, the state of charge
meter indicates the amount of usable power in the batter-
ies (Ref Fig. 5).
Hour Meter
Located on the instrument panel, the hour meter indi-
cates total hours of operation (Ref Fig. 5).
Horn
The horn button is located behind the steering wheel on
the right side of the instrument panel (Ref Fig. 5). Acti-
vate horn by pressing the button.
Accelerator and Brake Combination
If unfamiliar with this type of operation, it is
recommended that the vehicle be operated
in a non-congested area at low speed until
the operator becomes more familiar with the
vehicles characteristics.
Removing partial pressure from the foot
pedal reduces the speed but does not
engage the service brake system. The ser-
vice brake is activated only when foot pres-

sure is COMPLETELY removed. Depressing
the rear (heel) portion of the pedal further
activates the service brake.
Removing foot pressure from the pedal
while traveling at high speed will engage the
service brake and result in sudden deceler-
ation as the brake engages. Always hold on
during vehicle operation.
To prevent inadvertent movement when the
vehicle is to be left unattended, release ped-
al completely, move direction selector to
neutral position, turn key to 'OFF' position
and remove key.
The vehicle is equipped with a combination accelerator
and service brake incorporated into one pedal (Ref Fig.
6). When at rest, the pedal keeps the brakes applied to
prevent the vehicle from moving when parked. Applying
pressure to the toe of the pedal releases the brakes and
causes the vehicle to accelerate. Decreasing pressure
on the toe of the pedal reduces speed but does not apply
the brakes. Completely releasing the pedal activates the
