Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Anti-Stall Feature
Anti-Stall protection prevents motor damage from stalling
the vehicle against an object or on a hill.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the system senses that the accelerator pedal is
depressed (power applied to motor)
b) the motor is stalled long enough that any more
time may cause motor damage
the PDS system will momentarily interrupt power to the
motor. This brief interruption will permit the vehicle to roll
backwards slightly before again stopping in the stalled
condition. This process will repeat itself periodically until
the vehicles is moved from the stalled condition.
Example: If all of the following events occur...
a) the system senses that the accelerator pedal is
depressed (power applied to motor)
b) the brake is engaged so as to prevent vehicle
motion
the PDS system will sense a stalled motor condition and
remove power from the motor. When the brake pedal is
released, the vehicle will roll backwards slightly before
power is returned to the motor.
High Pedal Disable Feature
High pedal disable prevents undesired acceleration if the
direction selector lever is changed, or the key is turned
on while the accelerator is depressed.
Diagnostic Mode Feature
Diagnostic mode eases troubleshooting.
In the unlikely event of certain electrical system failures,
the PDS controller will default to a mode that will permit
the vehicle to operate, but at a very reduced speed.
This feature allows the vehicle to be driven back to its
storage facility where the problem can be diagnosed.
The controller can be put in diagnostic mode by the tech-
nician and the controller will report the failure mode.

STARTING AND DRIVING

To reduce the possibility of roll-back which
could result in severe injury or vehicle damage,
do not release the service brake until motor has
started.
Remove charger plug from vehicle receptacle (AC plug if
equipped with an on-board charger) and properly store
cable prior to moving vehicle.
OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Owner's Manual and Service Guide
To operate vehicle:
•
Apply the service brake, place the key in the key
switch and turn it to the 'ON' position.
•
Move the direction selector to the direction
desired.
•
Release the park brake by depressing the service
brake pedal until the park brake releases.
•
Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to start the
motor. Release service brake when motor starts.
•
When the accelerator pedal is released, the motor
stops. To stop the vehicle more quickly, depress
the service brake pedal.
When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warning
signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run in
reverse.

STARTING VEHICLE ON A HILL

To reduce the possibility of roll-back which
could result in severe injury or vehicle damage,
do not release the service brake until motor has
started.
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

Uncontrolled coasting does not occur because the con-
troller limits the top speed of the vehicle while moving
down hill. However, this is not a substitute for the service
brake which should be used to control the speed of the
vehicle.
Some models are equipped with a feature (pedal-up braking)
which slows the vehicle's speed when the accelerator pedal is
released.

LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS

Vehicles may be labeled with pictograms as a method of
conveying information or warnings. Appendix A illus-
trates and explains pictograms that may appear on the
vehicle. Not all pictograms shown in Appendix A will be
found on your vehicle.
