3. Plug the cord into a normal,
grounded 110-volt AC outlet.
{ CAUTION
Plugging the cord into an
ungrounded outlet could cause an
electrical shock. Also, the wrong
kind of extension cord could
overheat and cause a fire. You
could be seriously injured. Plug
the cord into a properly grounded
three-prong 110-volt AC outlet.
If the cord will not reach, use a
heavy-duty three-prong extension
cord rated for at least 15 amps.

Operation
The automatic transmission has a
shift lever located on the console
between the seats.
P (Park): This position locks the
front wheels. It is the best position
to use when starting the engine

firmly set. The vehicle can roll.
Do not leave the vehicle when the
engine is running unless you have

not move, even when you are on
fairly level ground, always set the
parking brake and move the shift
lever to P (Park). See Shifting Into
Park on page 2-28. If you are

engine. The vehicle has an
automatic transmission shift lock
control system. You must fully apply
