Starting The Vehicle On A Hill 4 To reduce the possibility of roll-back which could result in severe injury or vehicle damage, do not release service brake until engine has started. Do not hold vehicle on hill by using accelerator and engine. This will cause premature and excessive wear to drive train components. To reduce the possibility of permanent damage to the drive system, it is important to prevent excessive roll-back when starting the vehicle on a hill. Place left foot on service brake and release the park brake. Depress accelerator with right foot and release the service brake by lifting left foot. Coasting To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from coasting at above recommended speeds, limit speed with service brake. On steep hills, it is possible for the vehicle to coast at greater than normal speeds encountered on a flat surface. To reduce the possible loss of vehicle control and severe drivetrain damage, speeds should be limited to no more than the maximum governed speed on level ground (see GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS). Limit speed by applying service brake. Fuel To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from improper fuel handling: Do not smoke near the fuel tank. Do not refuel near open flame or electrical items which could produce a spark. Always handle gasoline in a well ventilated area. Always wear eye protection to protect against splashed fuel and fuel vapors. Always allow adequate space for the expansion of gasoline. Leave at least 1" (2.5 cm) space below bottom of filler neck. Inspect fuel cap, tank and other components for leaks or deterioration that could cause a hazardous condition. 4- 7
