FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL

The Forward/Reverse handle (6) is located on the right side of the instrument panel (Figure 4 and Figure 5, Page 11). The handle has three distinct positions: FORWARD (A), NEUTRAL (B), and REVERSE (C). Push the handle up to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or pull the handle down to operate the vehicle in reverse. The engine can be started only when the handle is in the NEUTRAL (middle) position. The engine must be at idle before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle. See WARNING and CAUTION on page 12.

This vehicle operates at a reduced speed in reverse. The reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is in the REVERSE position.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL

The accelerator pedal (1) is the pedal farthest to the right (Figure 4 and Figure 5, Page 11).

With the engine running and the Forward/Reverse handle in the FORWARD or REVERSE position, vehicle speed will increase as the accelerator pedal is pressed. When the accelerator pedal is released, it will return to the original position and the engine will idle. See WARNING and CAUTION on page 12.
