Read all of manual to become familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all NOTICES, CAUTIONS,WARNINGS and DANGERS.
This manual has been designed to assist the owner-operator in maintaining the vehicle in accordance with procedures
developed by the manufacturer. Adherence to these procedures and troubleshooting tips will ensure the best possible
service from the product. To reduce the chance of personal injury and/or property damage, the following instructions
must be carefully observed:
Certain replacement parts can be used independently and/or in combination with other accessories to modify an
CUSHMAN-manufactured vehicle to permit the vehicle to operate at or in excess of 20mph. When an CUSHMAN-man-
ufactured vehicle is modified an any way by the Distributor, Dealer or customer to operate at or in excess of 20mph,
UNDER FERERAL LAW the modified product will be a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) subject to the strictures and require-
ments of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 571.500. In these instances, pursuant to Federal law the Distributor or
Dealer MUST equip the product with headlights, rear lights, turn signals, seat belts, top, horn and all other modifica-
tions for LSV’s mandated in FMVSS 571.500, and affix a Vehicle Identification Number to the product in accordance
with the requirements of FMVSS 571.565. Pursuant to FMVSS 571.500, and in accordance with the State laws applica-
ble in the places of sale and use of the product, the Distributor, Dealer or customer modifying the vehicle also will be
the Final Vehicle Manufacturer for the LSV, and required to title or register the vehicle as mandated by State law.
CUSHMAN will NOT approve Distributor, Dealer or customer modifications converting CUSHMAN products into LSV’s.
The Company, in addition, recommends that all CUSHMAN products sold as personal transportation vehicles BE
OPERATED ONLY BY PERSONS WITH VALID DRIVERS LICENSES, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE
STATE REQUIREMENTS. This restriction is important to the SAFE USE AND OPERATION of the product. On behalf
of CUSHMAN, I am directing that CUSHMAN Branch personnel, Distributors and Dealers advise all customers to
adhere to this SAFETY RESTRICTION, in connection with the use of all products, new and used, the Distributor or
Dealer has reason to believe may be operated in personal transportation applications.
Information on FMVSS 571.500 can be obtained at Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 571.500, or
through the Internet at the website for the U.S. Department of Transportation - at Dockets and Regulation, then to Title
49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (Transportation).
GENERAL
Many vehicles are used for a variety of tasks beyond the original intended use of the vehicle; therefore it is impossible
to anticipate and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur. No warnings can take the
place of good common sense and prudent driving practices.
Good common sense and prudent driving practices do more to prevent accidents and injury than all of the warnings
and instructions combined. The manufacturer strongly suggests that the owner-operator read this entire manual paying
particular attention to the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS contained therein. It is further recommended that employees
and other operators be encouraged to do the same.
If you have any questions, contact your closest representative or write to the address on the back cover of this publica-
tion, Attention: Product Service Department.
