Have you fully charged the batteries? See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”

Are the manual freewheel levers in the drive position? See III. “Your PMV.” Never leave the freewheel levers pushed down unless you are manually pushing your PMV.

GETTING ONTO YOUR PMV

1. Make certain that the key is removed from the key switch.

WARNING! Never attempt to get onto or off of your PMV without first removing the key from the key switch. This will prevent the PMV from moving if accidental throttle control lever contact is made.

2.Stand at the side of your PMV.

4.Position yourself comfortably and securely in the seat.

5.Push down on the seat rotation lever and rotate the seat until you face forward; release the seat rotation lever to secure the seat in place.

PRE-RIDE ADJUSTMENTS AND CHECKS Are you positioned comfortably in the seat?

Is the seat at the proper height? See VI. “Comfort Adjustments.” Is the seat fixed securely in place? See VI. “Comfort Adjustments.”

Is the tiller at a comfortable setting and locked securely in place? See VI. “Comfort Adjustments.” Is the key fully inserted into the key switch? See III. “Your PMV.”

Does your PMV’s horn work properly?

Is your proposed path clear of people, pets, and obstacles?

Have you planned your route to avoid adverse terrain and as many inclines as possible?

OPERATING YOUR PMV

WARNING! The following can adversely affect steering and stability while operating your PMV, resulting in loss of control, tipping, and/or personal injury:

Holding onto or attaching a leash to walk your pet Carrying passengers (including pets)

Hanging any article from the tiller

Towing or being pushed by another motorized vehicle

Set the 5-10 mph switch to your desired maximum speed of 5 or 10 mph (8 or 16 km/h); then set the speed adjustment dial to your desired speed. We recommend you initially set the 5-10 mph switch to 5 mph (8 km/h) and the speed adjustment dial to the tortoise (slowest speed setting).

Insert the key into the key switch.

With your hands on the handgrips, use your thumb to gently push the right side of the throttle control lever to disengage the brakes and move forward; the electronic brake automatically disengages and the PMV accelerates smoothly to the speed you set with the speed adjustment dial.
