There is a feature, known in technical terms as "ramp up", that automatically provides a gentle start at any speed setting up to, and including, full speed. Even so, your Model 5 is very powerful and it is best to start out at lower speeds, at least until you become familiar with the caddie.
Directionally, your Model 5 will follow the grade, ie: it may not run straight when used diagonally across a slope. Please keep this in mind.
1)
On-Off Switch: The on-off switch, located top center of the switchbox, is self-explanatory in operation. It is located for convenient access in starting your Model 5 or, should the need arise immediate power cut-off.
2)
Speed Control: Speed is controlled by the rotary thumb-wheel located at the rear of the switchbox, convenient for either hand operation. The speed control decal indicates speed in relation to thumb-wheel position.
3)
Normal Operation:
| 1) | Check desired speed setting. |
| 2) | Turn ON-OFF switch to ON. You can vary the speed control to suit your own pace. |
| 3) | To stop, turn ON-OFF switch to OFF. There is no need to change the speed control when stopping and re-starting. The speed control has a very wide range and can operate down to very slow speed, so be sure that the switch is OFF when the motorcaddie is stopped. |
