OPERATING YOUR HURRICANE PMV
After planning your route:
! Set the 4 - 8 mph switch to your desired maximum speed of 4 or 8 mph; then set the speed adjustment dial to
your desired speed. We recommend you initially set the 4 - 8 mph switch to 4 mph and the speed adjustment
dial to the tortoise (slowest speed setting).
