Dual Steer Vehicle Operation
PART 7: STARTING & OPERATING THE VEHICLE
Operating from the Curbside (RH) Drive Station
WARNING!
• Ensure that you are behind the curbside
steering wheel and fully ready to operate the
vehicle before you release either the parking
brake or work brake. This latter action will
actuate any auto neutral feature and cause
the transmission to engage. You could be
injured or cause property damage due to
unexpected vehicle movement if you are not
in position & ready.
• Do not operate vehicle in excess of 20 mph
(32 kph) from a stand-up position. Driving
faster while standing up, without seat or seatbelt,
is dangerous and could lead to an accident
and possible serious personal injury.
1. Depress the foot brake pedal.
2. Push in the parking brake valve knob to release the
brake.
NOTE:
• A shift shock eliminator will not allow a shift
from neutral to either a forward or reverse
gear when the engine speed is over 900
rpm.
• When shifting between transmission
ranges, keep the push button depressed
until the indicator light for the selected range
comes on, indicating the shift is complete.
3. Press in and hold down the appropriate push button to
move to the desired transmission range. Three ranges
(drive, neutral, and reverse) are available at the curbside
shift control panel. A completed shift is signalled
by the illumination of the indicator light for a selected
range.
4. Upon reaching the desired transmission range, release
the foot brake pedal and depress the accelerator
pedal.
Switching from Curbside (RH) to Streetside (LH)
