13. LOOSE CLOTHING, LONG HAIR, OR ARTICLES WORN BY ANY
OPERATOR OR PASSENGER MUST BE FULLY CONTAINED OR COVERED
TO PREVENT THEM FROM POSSIBLY BEING CAUGHT IN ROTATING
PARTS OF THE VEHICLE OR THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT WHILE
RIDING. FAILURE TO OBEY COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY
OF THE OPERATOR OR PASSENGER.
14. DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FEET, OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE BODY OR
ANY CLOTHING NEAR THE ENGINE, MUFFLER, WHEELS, CHAIN AND
OTHER ROTATING PARTS OF THE VEHICLE WHILE RIDING OR RUNNING
THE ENGINE. Caution must be used in performing required maintenance
on or near an operating engine. Special caution should be taken after the
engine has been running, since the engine and other drive components
may be extremely hot.
15. Wet, slippery, rough, or steep terrain is potentially dangerous and may
result in injury if proper caution in not observed. Slow speeds are required
to safely operate this vehicle under these conditions. The operator must
use mature judgment, skill, and experience to choose a speed suitable for
terrain and riding conditions.
16. The governor settings for this vehicle’s engine must not be tampered
with, altered, or changed. The governor is set by the engine manufacturer
and limits the maximum speed of the engine (and vehicle) and protects
the engine from damage. Excessive speeds are potentially dangerous to
the operator/passenger, and the engine.
17. Each time before using this vehicle, the fuel supply should checked. The
fuel tank should never be filled while the engine is running or while the
engine is hot. Do not fill tank in a closed area such as a garage, while
smoking, or in the vicinity of an open flame. Do not overfill the tank. There
should not be any fuel in the filler neck. Replace cap tightly to prevent
spillage of fuel and potential fire hazard. After filling tank, move the
vehicle at least 15 feet away from the spot of filling before starting.
18. If the vehicle should start making unusual noise or vibrating abnormally,
the engine should be stopped and the spark plug wire disconnected. The
vehicle should then be checked for damage. Excessive noise or vibration
is generally a warning of loose or worn parts.
