Handbrake Lever (Not Shown)
Your PMV is equipped with a handbrake lever, located on the tiller handle. This lever provides you with
additional stopping power. Release the throttle control lever and gently squeeze the handbrake lever to
come to a stop.
NOTE: If you do not release the throttle before using the handbrake, your PMV may not come to a
complete stop.
Throttle Control Lever
This lever allows you to control the forward speed and the reverse speed of your PMV up to the maximum
speed you preset with the speed adjustment dial.
To Move Forward use either of the following:
Use your left thumb to push the left side of the throttle control lever.
Use your right hand fingers to pull back on the right side of the throttle control lever.

Use your right thumb to push the right side of the throttle control lever.
Use your left hand fingers to pull back on the left side of the throttle control lever.
Release the throttle control lever and allow your PMV to come to a complete stop before engaging the
other side of the lever. When the throttle control lever is completely released, it automatically returns to
the center “stop” position and engages your PMV’s brakes.
