HOW TO OPERATE
73
j
Moving Off
Depress the brake pedal.
Put the shift lever into the “H” (High) or “L” (Low)
position.
Release the parking brake.
Gradually increase engine speed by pressing on
the throttle pedal.
NOTE
Practice starting and stopping (using the brakes)
until you are familiar with the controls.
WARNING
To avoid injury in the event of a roll-over,
keep arms and legs inside the vehicle at all
times.
The operator should firmly grip the
steering wheel at all times, and the passen-
ger should hold onto the handgrips.
Braking
Release the throttle pedal completely.
Press on the brake pedal firmly.
NOTE
When the throttle pedal is released completely and
the engine speed drops near an idle, the vehicle
has no engine braking. This is caused by the ve-
hicle’s automatic transmission which releases the
engine at very low speed to prevent it from stalling.
Apply the brakes to control the vehicle’s speed.
WARNING
Carrying cargo or towing a trailer will in-
crease braking distances.
Failure to allow
for increased braking distance may result in
accident and injury. Always allow more dis-
tance to stop when carrying cargo or towing
a trailer.
