All guards must be in place prior to starting the electric motor.
●
Operating the vehicle in conditions where water, mud, snow, dirt,
sand or other debris can get into the throttle cable conduit and/or the
throttle mechanism can cause the cable or throttle mechanism to bind,
which may lead to throttle sticking, loss of control, and possible death,
injury, and/or property damage.
