Operation

General Operation

1. 

Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the vehicle 

and in the manual before attempting to operate or service 

vehicle. Keep this manual in a safe place for future and 

regular reference and for ordering replacement parts.

2. 

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. 

3. 

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.

4. 

Handling and maneuvering characteristics of vehicle 

change depending upon cargo load. Heavy loads affect 

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

5. 

Be familiar with all instructions and controls and their 

proper operation before starting vehicle.

6. 

Never allow adults to operate this vehicle without proper 

instruction.

7. 

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.

8. 

Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing 

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

roadway.

9. 

Do not operate this vehicle while under the influence of 

alcohol or drugs.

10. 

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, 

except in the driver and passenger seats.

11. 

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

vehicle when vehicle is in motion. 

12. 

Always remain seated and keep both hands on the steering 

wheel when driving the vehicle.

13. 

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. 

14. 

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.
