3. Be sure everyone is seated and holding onto seat handles or handrails.
4. Read safety warnings located above pedals.
5. Make sure wheels are turned in desired direction.
6. Turn key to ON position and be sure nothing is in your path.
7. Select direction by placing shift lever in desired position (F = forward or R = reverse).
8. Slowly depress accelerator pedal. The park brake will release automatically and the vehicle will start to
move. As the accelerator pedal is depressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached.
NOTE
• THE VEHICLE OPERATOR MUST CONTROL SPEED WHEN GOING DOWNHILL.
• GASOLINE VEHICLE ONLY: DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AS NECESSARY AND PARTIALLY
DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR WHEN DESCENDING A HILL. WITH THE ACCELERATOR
PEDAL PARTIALLY DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE GOVERNOR WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO
CONTROL DOWNHILL SPEED.
• POWERDRIVE PLUS VEHICLE WITH REGENERATIVE BRAKING: "PEDAL DOWN" OR "PEDAL
UP" MOTOR BRAKING MAY BE USED TO CONTROL SPEED WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. SEE DS
POWERDRIVE PLUS VEHICLES ON PAGE 3-3.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and depress the brake pedal with your right foot until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop.
WARNING
• DRIVING THROUGH WATER MAY AFFECT THE BRAKES. CHECK THEIR EFFECTIVENESS BY
DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL GENTLY. IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SLOW DOWN AT THE
NORMAL RATE, CONTINUE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKES UNTIL THEY DRY OUT AND NORMAL
PERFORMANCE RETURNS.
CAUTION
• WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL, USE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO HOLD YOUR POSITION. DO NOT
USE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE
1. After stopping the vehicle, firmly depress the park brake pedal until it locks. This will prevent the vehicle
from rolling.
2. Turn the key switch to OFF and place the shift lever in the NEUTRAL position. Remove the key when
the vehicle is not in use.
• Regenerative Braking Vehicles Only: When the vehicle is in use with the key switch ON, the "zero
speed detect" function will resist vehicle rolling (See "Zero Speed Detect", Page 3-3).
