Gasoline Vehicles
1. Study and understand controls.
2. Make sure everyone is seated and holding onto seat hand holds or handrails.
3. Read safety warnings located on dash and (or) above pedals.
4. Make sure wheels are turned in desired direction.
5. Turn the key all the way to the START position and hold, activating the choke as necessary, until the
engine is running smoothly. The engine will idle in neutral.
6. Select direction by placing the Forward/Reverse handle in desired position (F = forward or R = reverse).
A buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle 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
WARNING and CAUTION.
ý WARNING
• Operator must control speed when going downhill.
• Do not shift the vehicle out of forward while going downhill. If you do, you will not be able to
shift into reverse or back into forward until stopped.
• Press the brake pedal as necessary and partially press the accelerator when descending a
hill. With the accelerator pedal partially pressed, the governor will cause the engine to assist
the brakes in controlling downhill speed.

pedal to hold position.
To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal with your right foot until the vehi-

switch or key switch in any position), the zero speed detect function will prevent the vehicle from rolling
at more than 1 to 3 mph (1.5 to 4.8 km/h) unless the accelerator is pressed. This prevents the possibil-
