OPERATION WARNINGS

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Skidding or sliding improperly.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

You may lose control of this vehicle.

You may also regain traction unexpectedly, which may cause the vehicle to
overturn or passenger ejection (2-UP models).

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and
on level smooth terrain.

On 2-UP models, never slide or skid with passenger. Always remember that
the vehicle handling and stability may be affected when riding with a pas-
senger.

On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious
in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control.
