Reverse switch is in the REVERSE position.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL
The accelerator pedal is the pedal on the right, with the word GO molded into it

pedal will automatically release the park brake and start the vehicle moving in the direction selected (forward
or reverse). As the accelerator pedal is pressed, speed will increase until full speed is reached. When the
accelerator is released, power will be cut off and the motor will stop running.
BRAKE PEDAL
The brake pedal is the large pedal on the left with the word STOP molded into it
(Figure 7)
. To slow or stop
the vehicle, press the brake pedal with your foot
(Figure 8)

PARK BRAKE PEDAL
The park brake pedal is the small raised portion in the upper left corner of the brake pedal. It has the word
PARK molded into it and the words PARK BRAKE marked on top of it
(Figure 8)
. To set the park brake, press
the brake pedal firmly and tilt the park brake portion of the pedal forward with your foot
(Figure 9)
.
