Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.

STARTING AND DRIVING

To reduce the possibility of roll - back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do
not release the service brake until motor has started.
All vehicles are equipped with an interlock system that disables the controller and prevents the vehicle from being
operated or towed while the charger is connected. Remove the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle and prop-
erly store the cable prior to moving the vehicle.
To operate the vehicle:
• Apply the service brake, place the key in the key switch and turn it to the 'ON'/'N' position.
• Move the direction selector to the direction desired.
• Release the park brake by depressing the service brake pedal until the park brake releases.
• Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to start the motor.
• When the accelerator pedal is released, the motor controls the deceleration. To stop the vehicle more quickly,
depress the service brake pedal.
When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warning signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run in
reverse.

Starting Vehicle On A Hill

vice brake by lifting the left foot.

Coasting

should be used to slow the speed of the vehicle quickly.
