VEHICLE SAFETY FEATURES
BATTERY CHARGING INTERLOCK
The battery charging interlock is a safety feature that prevents possible damage to the battery charger
and vehicle. The battery charging interlock will automatically engage when the AC cord is connected to
a power source. The vehicle will not operate when the AC cord is connected.
MULTI-PURPOSE BUZZER
The vehicle comes equipped with a multi-purpose buzzer. The multi-purpose buzzer makes an audible
tone when:
• The Forward / Neutral / Reverse control (FNR) is set to R.
• The walk-away braking engages for longer than two seconds.
• The regenerative braking performance decreases because the batteries are fully charged.
• The batteries start to charge.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING
CAUTION WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE FULLY CHARGED, A WARNING
BUZZER WILL OPERATE DURING REGENERATIVE BRAKING TO
TELL THE DRIVER THAT REGENERATIVE BRAKING
PERFORMANCE WILL DECREASE. USE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO
CONTROL THE VEHICLE SPEED.
Regenerative braking helps maintain the downhill speed of the vehicle in relation to the accelerator
pedal position.
Regenerative braking performance decreases when the batteries are fully charged.
Regenerative braking cannot maintain the vehicle speed on an excessive grade (more than 20%). Use
the brake pedal to control the vehicle speed.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL
POSITION CONDITION
Fully Pushed Regenerative braking holds the vehicle at the programmed top speed.
Between Fully Pushed And
Released
Regenerative braking holds the vehicle at a percentage of the
programmed top speed in relation to the accelerator pedal position.
Fully Released
Regenerative braking will do one of the two based on the controller
settings:
• Factory Default - Stop the vehicle slowly.
• Optional - Let the vehicle coast freely.
Note: The regenerative braking functions are controlled by the
controller settings. Speak with your dealer or distributor for
more information.
WALK-AWAY BRAKING
WARNING WALK-AWAY BRAKING WILL NOT LIMIT VEHICLE SPEED TO 3
MPH (4.8 KM/H) ON STEEP SLOPES. DO NOT OPERATE THE
VEHICLE ON SLOPES THAT ARE MORE THAN A 20% GRADE.
Walk-away braking is a safety function that limits the roll-away speed of a vehicle when the park brake
is disengaged. The multi-purpose buzzer will make an audible tone when the walk-away braking safety
device engages for more than two seconds.
