Engine braking
Engine compression braking is designed to
assist you when operating your Wolverine
RMAX2 off-road. With this feature, the engine
helps slow the vehicle down after you take
your foot off the accelerator. Engine braking
is more noticeable in four-wheel drive. Appli-
cation of vehicle brakes provides additional
stopping power.
Leaving the vehicle
Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine
is running and the drive select lever is in any
gear. There is a risk of injury because:
 Children or others may accidentally press
the accelerator pedal.
 Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike
the accelerator pedal.
 The parking brake may not keep the vehicle
from accelerating.
Unwanted vehicle movement can cause seri-
ous injury or death, and it may be dangerous
to try to stop the vehicle.
Parking on a flat area
When parking on a flat area, stop the engine
and shift the drive select lever into the neutral
position. Apply the parking brake to help pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling.
Parking on a slope

wheels when in "2WD". For the parking brake
to take effect on all four wheels, shift to "DIFF.
LOCK" before stopping the engine.

cle may roll out of control. Never park on hills
that are so steep you cannot walk up them
easily. If you must park on an incline, follow
these instructions:

brake pedal.
