OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION

Owner’s Guide

Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings.

To operate the vehicle:

•

Place the key in the key switch and turn it to the
‘ON’/’N’ position.

•

Move the direction selector to the direction
desired.

•

Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to start the
motor.

•

When the accelerator pedal is released, the motor
controls the deceleration. To stop the vehicle more
quickly, depress the

service brake pedal

When the direction selector is in the reverse position, a warn-
ing signal will sound to indicate that the vehicle is ready to run
in reverse.

STARTING VEHICLE ON A HILL

The parking brake will activate automatically when the
vehicle comes to a stop. To start the vehicle on a hill de-
press the accelerator pedal and the parking brake will
be released.

COASTING

Uncontrolled coasting does not occur with this model.
However, this is not a substitute for the service brake
which should be used to slow the speed of the vehicle
quickly.

This model is equipped with a feature (pedal-up braking) that
slows the vehicle’s speed when the accelerator pedal is
released until the vehicle stops.

LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS

Vehicles may be labeled with pictograms as a method of
conveying information or warnings. The Vehicle Label
Identification Section of this manual explains the labels
that are used on this vehicle.

SUN TOP AND WINDSHIELD

The sun top does not provide protection from
roll-over or falling objects.

The windshield does not provide protection
from tree limbs or flying objects.

The sun top and windshield provide some protection
from the elements; however, they will not keep the oper-
ator and passenger dry in a downpour. This vehicle is
not equipped with seat belts and the sun top has not
been designed to provide roll-over protection. In addi-
tion, the sun top does not protect against falling objects
nor does the windshield protect against flying objects
and tree limbs. Keep arms and legs inside of the vehicle
while it is moving.

VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE

VEHICLE CLEANING

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
vehicle damage, read and understand all
instructions supplied by the manufacturer of
the pressure washer.

When pressure washing the exterior of the vehicle, do
not use pressure in excess of 700 psi. To reduce the
possibility of cosmetic damage, do not use any abra-
sive or reactive solvents to clean plastic parts.

It is important that proper techniques and cleaning ma-
terials be used. Using excessive water pressure may
cause severe injury to the operator or bystander, dam-
age to the seals, plastics, seat material, body finish or
electrical system. Do not use pressure in excess of 700
psi to wash the exterior of the vehicle.

Clean the windshield with lots of water, a mild soap and
a clean cloth.

Normal cleaning of vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim
requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with a
sponge or soft brush and wiped with a damp cloth.

Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc., requires
the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.

The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive
appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing
with lukewarm or cold water and mild detergent is re-
quired to preserve the painted surfaces.

Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive
products designed for ‘clear coat’ automotive finishes
will enhance the appearance and durability of the paint-
ed surfaces.

Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control
can collect on the underbody of the vehicle. These
