4 sectiOn 2 — iMpOrtant safe OperatiOn practices

This is an off-road utility vehicle and it should not be

operated on public highways. Know and comply with all

laws and regulations governing the use of off-highway

vehicles in your area.

This vehicle handles and maneuvers differently than

a normal passenger car. Sharp high speed turns and

abrupt maneuvers can cause vehicle to roll over or go out

of control. Slow down when turning and avoid abrupt

maneuvers.

Handling and maneuvering characteristics of vehicle

change depending upon cargo load. Heavy loads affect

steering, braking, stability, and overall handling of vehicle.

Be familiar with all instructions and controls and their

proper operation before starting vehicle.

Never allow adults to operate this vehicle without proper

instruction.

Never allow children under 16 years old to operate this

vehicle. Children 16 years old and over should read and

understand the operation instructions and safety rules in

this manual and should be trained and supervised by a

parent.

Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing

roadways. This vehicle is not intended for use on any public

roadway.

Do not operate this vehicle while under the influence of

alcohol or drugs.

Never carry more than one passenger. This vehicle is

designed to carry the driver and one passenger only.

No riders are allowed in cargo box or anywhere else on

vehicle.

Keep all body parts (i.e. head, arms, hands, legs, feet) inside

vehicle when vehicle is in motion.

Always remain seated and keep both hands on the steering

wheel when driving the vehicle.

Sit on the center of the seat and keep both feet within the

foot platform perimeter. Clean foot platform if dirty and

remove any debris from around foot controls, e.g. brake

pedal.

Do not misuse the utility vehicle. It is an utility vehicle, not

a recreation vehicle or toy. Recreational riding can lead to

accidents, severe bodily injury or death.

Inspect area around vehicle before moving, especially in

reverse. Back up slowly. Always look down and behind

before and while backing to avoid a back-over accident.

Keep bystanders out of area.

Avoid driving through water, since loss of control may

occur. Drive belt may slip if exposed to water thus reducing

vehicle pulling power and stopping vehicle entirely.

Always use vehicle lights while operating in low light

situations.

Do not mount or leave vehicle while it is in motion or in

actual operation.

Avoid sudden starts, stops, or turns and always use a level

turn-around area.

Never leave vehicle unattended with the key in the

ignition. Always turn key to the “Stop” position, set the

parking brake and remove key.

Check overhead clearances carefully before driving under

low hanging tree branches, wires, power lines, bridges,

before entering or leaving buildings, or in any other

situation where the operator and/or operator protective

structure (OPS) may be struck, which could result in serious

injury.

Use the operator protective structure (OPS) and seat belt

for safe operation. Overturning the utility vehicle without

a operator protective structure (OPS), or with a operator

protective structure (OPS) and the seat belt unfastened,

can result in death or injury.

Always use the seat belt, except if the operator protective

structure (OPS) has been removed.

Improper use of the vehicle or failure to properly maintain

it could result in decreased vehicle performance or

personal injury.

Engine must be stopped when cleaning, servicing,

adjusting, repairing, or installing attachments on utility

vehicle.

After striking foreign objects, stop the unit and shut off the

engine. Inspect for damage and repair the damage before

restarting and operating equipment.

Do not start or operate vehicle in an inside area, unless it

is adequately ventilated. Engine exhaust contains carbon

monoxide fumes, which are very poisonous and can be

deadly.

Do not change engine governor setting or over speed the

engine. The governor is set at the factory for safe operating

speed.

Assure safety interlock switch is adjusted correctly so

engine cannot be started unless gearshift is in the neutral

position.

Do not touch engine or muffler while engine is running or

soon after it is stopped. They will be hot and can cause a

burn.

Always inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make

sure it is in safe operating condition. Always follow the

inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules

described in this manual.

If situations occur which are not covered in this manual,

use care and good judgement. Contact your local service

center or call toll free 1-877-282-8684 for the name of your

nearest service center.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and rollover

accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. If a slope is

steeper than a 15° incline, do not operate this unit on that area.

Exercise extreme caution while operating on slopes.

Do:

Travel straight up and down slopes, not across. Exercise

extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
