Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.
death resulting from loss of vehicle control, the
following warnings must be observed:
When driving vehicle, consider the terrain, traf-
fic conditions and the environmental factors
which effect the terrain and the ability to con-
trol the vehicle.
Use extra care and reduced speed when driv-
ing on poor surfaces, such as loose dirt, wet
grass, gravel, etc.
Stay in designated areas and avoid extremely
rough terrain.
Maintain a safe speed when driving down hill.
Use the service brake to reduce speed when
traveling down an incline. A sudden stop or
change of direction may result in loss of con-
trol.
Slow down before and during turns. All turns
should be made at reduced speed.
Never drive vehicle up, down, or across an
incline that exceeds 14° (25% grade).
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death resulting from improper vehicle opera-
tion, the following warnings must be observed:
Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for
seating capacity.
To prevent inadvertent movement when the
vehicle is to be left unattended, turn key to
'OFF' position and remove the key.
Make sure that the direction selector is in cor-
rect position before attempting to start the
vehicle.
Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop
before shifting the direction selector.
Check the area behind the vehicle before
operating in reverse.
All occupants must be seated. Keep entire
body inside vehicle and hold on while vehicle
is in motion.
OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION

REGENERATIVE BRAKING

To prevent the possibility of loss of control that
could cause severe injury or death, use ser-
vice brake to reduce speed.
This vehicle is equipped with a regenerative motor con-
trol system.
Example: If both of the following events occur:
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the driver attempts to exceed the specified top
speed with the accelerator pedal depressed or
released
the regenerative braking will limit the speed of the vehi-
cle to the specified top speed. When the regenerative
braking system is activated by this sequence of events,
the motor generates power that is returned to the batter-
ies.
When the vehicle speed is reduced below the maximum
by using the service brake, the speed will not increase
unless the throttle is increased. When the brake pedal is
released the vehicle will slow down as it does with pedal
up braking.

PEDAL-UP BRAKING

Pedal-up braking is regenerative braking that occurs
when the accelerator pedal is released while the vehicle
is moving.
Example: If both of the following events occur:
a) the vehicle is being driven down a slope
b) the accelerator pedal is released
the pedal-up braking will slow the vehicle until the vehi-
cle stops, or the accelerator pedal is applied. When
pedal-up braking system is activated by this sequence
of events, the motor generates power that is returned to
the batteries.

HIGH PEDAL DISABLE FEATURE

High pedal disable prevents acceleration if the key is
turned on while the accelerator is depressed.

STARTING AND DRIVING

All vehicles are equipped with an interlock system that
disables the controller and prevents the vehicle from be-
ing operated or towed while the charger is connected.
Remove the charger plug from the vehicle receptacle
and properly store the cable prior to moving the vehicle.
