Brake Pedal
CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury:
If the operator suddenly brakes, an
accident may occur due to loss of
control or shifting forward of heavy
loads.
When driving on icy, wet or loose
surface, make sure the vehicle is
correctly balanced to avoid skidding or
loss of steering control. Reduce the
speed.
The brake pedal is the left pedal on the foot
board. Depress the pedal to slow or stop the
vehicle.

Gear Shift Range Lever
CAUTION:
To avoid personal injury:
Avoid changing gear shift range lever
when ascending or descending a slope.
Before ascending or descending a slope,
shift to the “L” range to control the
vehicle speed. If you shift gears while
ascending or descending a slope, be
prepared to use the brake to maintain
control. Vehicle must be stopped before
shifting.
Operate in reverse at slow speeds to
maintain control.
1. The gear shift range lever can only be
shifted when vehicle is completely stopped
and the accelerator pedal is in the
“NEUTRAL” position.
2. To avoid transmission and shift linkage
damage, completely stop the vehicle using
the brake pedal before shifting gears.
3. Select proper gear and engine speed
depending on the type of job.
4. Before dismounting vehicle, shift the gear
shift range lever to the “NEUTRAL” position
and set parking brake.
