Driving your MPV 4

1. Always fasten your seat belt before driving.
2. Allow plenty of space to test drive your MPV 4.
3. With the power off, hold the joystick and move it to determine the limits of
movement. Observe that, when released, the joystick returns to center (neutral).
4. With the joystick in the center position (neutral), turn vehicle power on.
Check battery gauge for adequate battery capacity.
5. Set the Speed/Response Control to the lowest level.

releases the motor brakes and the MPV 4 will move slowly forward. Observe
that if the joystick is released, the lever will return to center (neutral) and the

heard as the brakes are engaged.
