OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION
Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Some PDS models are equipped with a feature (pedal-up brak-
ing) which slows the vehicle's speed when the accelerator
pedal is released.
On steep hills, it is possible for non-PDS vehicles to
coast at faster than normal speeds that may be encoun-
tered on a flat surface. To prevent loss of vehicle control,
speeds should be limited to no more than the maximum
speed on level ground (see vehicle specification). Limit
speed by releasing the accelerator and applying service
brake. Severe damage to the drive train components due
to excessive speed may result from driving the vehicle
above specified speed. Damage caused by excessive
speed may cause a loss of control, is costly, is consid-
ered abuse and will not be covered under warranty.
LABELS AND PICTOGRAMS
Vehicles may be labeled with pictograms as a method of
conveying information or warnings. Appendix A illus-
trates and explains pictograms that may appear on the
vehicle. Not all pictograms shown in Appendix A will be
found on your 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 opera-
tor 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 addition, 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 vehicle while it is
moving.
TOWING A TRAILER
The vehicle may be equipped with a receiver that can be
fitted with a standard 1 7/8" ball. The trailer and its load
must not exceed 500 lbs (227 kg) and no more than 50
lbs (23 kg) tongue weight may be attached to the hitch.
Remember that the overall capacity of the vehicle, opera-
Page 10
tor, passenger, contents of loadbed and accessories
must be reduced to compensate for the trailer and load.
The range of motion of the trailer is limited by the ball and
hitch. The trailer should not be used on rough trails or
over objects such as logs, large rocks, holes, etc.
Never install baskets or extensions using a hitch
receiver. Such items will change the performance char-
acteristics of vehicle and result in unsafe handling, possi-
ble roll over or vehicle damage.
