CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTS
S. Brake Pedal
- Brakes engaged when pedal pressed.
T. Accelerator Pedal
- This pedal controls ground
speed. Press pedal to increase speed. Varying
the amount of movement of the pedal will vary the
ground speed.
U. Reverse Pedal
- This pedal controls reverse. Press
pedal to move machine in reverse.
GROUND SPEED CONTROL
The ground speed control works the same as an automo-
tive type cruise. The ground speed control is located on the
center console and is used to lock forward speed.
TO ENGAGE:
1. Flip rocker switch (L) ‘On’ (orange light).
2. Obtain desired speed with accelerator pedal (T).
3. Flip rocker switch (K) "On" (orange light) to lock the ground speed.
4. Remove foot from accelerator pedal.
4. Flip rocker switch (L or K) to disengage.
To avoid abrupt stop, place foot on accelerator pedal before disengaging
speed control.
SPEEDOMETER
This machine is equipped with a GPS Speedometer.
Please note
that if the speedometer has been powered
off longer than 4 hours, it could take up to 1 minute to acquire signal due to the satellites moving significantly
from your location. This is normal. The current draw is extremely low and will have virtually zero impact on a
battery's charge. Hot start wire should be connected directly to b12volts and should remain powered
100% of the time. When GPS gauge first receives power the needle will sweep full counter clockwise towards
0 mph. Pointer will stay at 0mph and oscillate slightly at zero to indicate the GPS is acquiring satellites. GPS
is not yet functional to indicate speed. Once satellites are acquired (15-45 seconds), the pointer will swing full
scale and then back toward 0 mph to indicate it is now ready for operation.
BRAKE RELEASE
Run machine at half-throttle minimum, prior to operating
traction pedal. This will ensure proper brake release.
TOWING
Rear wheel brakes must be disengaged for towing. To disen-
gage the brake, loosen the allen screw (A) in center of hub ap
-
proximately 5 rotations. This will release the brake shaft. Must
be done to both rear wheels.
Road speeds must not exceed
20 MPH.
When done towing
,
tighten the hex bolt on both
wheels. Test machine before putting in operation.
Machine is in free wheel mode when towing.
Machine has no rear wheel braking capibilities when being towed.
