Keys
The key for the cab door is in the work area, immediately to the right as you enter, stored on a hook. There is a separate key for the cab door and the ignition (marked).
Checklist
There is a checklist on the passenger seat on clipboard. Use it.
Starting
The automatic transmission must be in "N" (Neutral) to start the vehicle. There is no "P" (Park).
Parking Brake
The parking brake is a large yellow square-handled control to the bottom right of the steering wheel. Push it in to release.
While the engine is running pull it to engage. It uses a hydraulic assist on the brakes. (Not sure I have the right terminology.) You may feel it push back on the brake pedal when you use it. A buzzer will sound if the parking brake is engaged while the engine is running. This is a reminder to release the parking brake.
Because the vehicle uses hydraulic assist, many people think that you require a Class 3 license to drive it. We've checked, and because it's a parking break, you only need Class 5.
