WARNING
• If renting or loaning the vehicle, make sure the driver is familiar with all controls and
operating procedures before allowing the vehicle to be driven.
• Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle or switch while the vehicle is moving. To avoid injury
to an unsuspecting passenger or damage to the vehicle, always bring the vehicle to a full stop
before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle or switch.
• Release the accelerator pedal and then press the brake pedal firmly until the vehicle stops. To
avoid unintentionally starting or rolling the vehicle, set the park brake, place the Forward/
Reverse handle or switch in the NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch to the OFF position,
and remove the key when leaving the vehicle.
• Gasoline vehices only: Do not tamper with the governor. Doing so will void the warranty, as
well as damage the engine and other components, and could result in property damage,
personal injury, or death due to unsafe speeds.
KEY SWITCH
The key switch is mounted on the dash to the right of the steering column
(Figure 4)
. It has two positions,
OFF and ON, which are clearly labeled.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.

side of the switch to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or push down the REVERSE side of the
