STARTING AND DRIVING

Operation of this vehicle is limited to persons who are licensed drivers.
This vehicle is to be operated by licensed drivers only. Do not attempt to operate the buggy under the influence of drugs
or alcohol. Never turn the key switch to OFF while the buggy is in motion, this can cause loss of control and lead to seri-

than if it were operating on flat terrain. Speed on an uphill slope should be limited to not more than 5 mph and in a down-
hill situation must be limited to 5 mph by using the service brake to slow the vehicle. If allowed to travel too fast on a
downhill slope loss of control may occur, this can cause serious injury or death.
