Driving Instructions
WARNING
• Do not drive while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications.
• To prevent overturning the vehicle, drive slowly in turns.
• Use brakes to reduce speed when coasting downhill.
• This vehicle is not intended to be used where risk of falling objects exists. If your vehicle will be used
in such an environment, contact your local dealer.
• Do not drive the vehicle under tree limbs, bridges, tunnels, or other objects that are less than 80
inches (203 cm) from the ground.
No one should drive the vehicle without first being instructed in the proper operation and use of the vehicle's controls.
An experienced operator should accompany each first-time driver on a test drive before allowing him/her to operate
the vehicle alone.
To ensure safe operation of the vehicle, follow exactly and in order, all of the following procedures. Read and
understand all instructions prior to driving the vehicle.
STARTING THE VEHICLE
1. Study and understand controls.
2. Make sure everyone is seated and holding onto seat handles or handrails.
3. Read safety and information decals located on the vehicle.
4. Make sure wheels are turned in desired direction.
5. Turn the key to the ON position and make sure nothing is in your path.
6. Select direction by placing Forward/Reverse handle or switch in desired position (F = forward or R = reverse). A
buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle or switch is in the REVERSE position.
7. Slowly press accelerator pedal. The park brake will release automatically and the vehicle will start to move. As
the accelerator pedal is pressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached. See following WARNINGS.
WARNING
• Operator must control vehicle speed when going downhill.
Electric vehicles:
• Pedal down or pedal up motor braking may be used to help control speed when going downhill;
however, steep terrain or other conditions will require that pedal braking be used in conjunction with
motor braking.
• When batteries are fully charged, a warning buzzer will sound during motor braking to alert the driver
that motor braking is operating at a reduced level of performance. When this occurs, use the brake
pedal to control vehicle speed.
STOPPING THE VEHICLE
WARNING
• Driving through water may affect the brakes. After driving through water, check effectiveness of the
brakes by gently pressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle does not slow down at the normal rate,
continue to press the brake pedal until the brakes dry out and normal performance returns.
