RIDING OVER ROUGH TERRAIN
Operating over rough terrain should be done with caution. Look for obstacles
that could cause damage to the vehicle or could lead to a rollover or accident.
Avoid jumping the vehicle as injury, loss of control, and damage to the vehicle
could occur.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Failure to use extra care when operating this vehicle in unfamiliar terrain.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You can come upon hidden rocks, bumps, or holes, without enough time to
react. Could result in the vehicle overturning or going out of control.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Go slowly and be extra careful when operating in unfamiliar terrain. Always be
alert to changing terrain conditions when operating the vehicle.
RIDING IN BRUSH OR WOODED AREAS
When operating in areas with brush or trees, watch carefully on both sides and
above the vehicle for obstacles such as branches that the vehicle might hit,
causing an accident, or for brush that might enter the vehicle as you pass and
strike the driver or passenger. Never hold onto the enclosure so your hand is
outside the vehicle. Hold only onto the handgrip inside the enclosure.
ENCOUNTERING OBSTACLES ON THE TRAIL
If you cannot go around an obstacle such as a fallen tree trunk or a ditch, stop
the vehicle where it is safe to do so. Set the parking brake and get out to
inspect the area thoroughly. Look from your approach side and the exit side. If
you believe you can continue safely, decide the path that will allow you to get
over the obstacle at as close to a right angle as possible to minimize vehicle
tipping. Go only fast enough to maintain your momentum but still give yourself
plenty of time to react to changes in conditions. If there is any question about
your ability to maneuver safely over the obstacle, you should turn around, if
the ground is flat and you have the room, or back up until you find a less
difficult path.
