NOTICE:
If
your front wheels can’t rotate, don’t try to
drive. This might happen if you were stuck in
very deep sand or mud or were up against
a
solid
object.
You
could damage your transaxle.
Also, if you stop when going uphill, don’t hold
your vehicle there with only the accelerator
pedal. This could overheat
and
damage the
transaxle. Use your brakes or shift into
PARK
(P)
to hold your vehicle in position on
a
hill.
