Solution
The vehicle was pre-set to run only in low speed. To allow the
vehicle to run in low and high speed, you must disconnect the
High Speed Lock-Out. Follow the instructions on page 37 to
disconnect the High Speed Lock-Out.
It is possible that only one rear wheel may spin when both rear
wheels are raised off the ground and the vehicle is in low speed.
This does not necessarily indicate a problem. Check for proper
operation of the drive system by raising the rear wheels off the
ground and pressing the foot pedal. If only one rear wheel spins,
carefully press your hand on the spinning wheel to slow it down.
The other rear wheel should begin to spin. If the other rear wheel
does not begin to spin, there may be a problem with the vehicle.
