OPERATING THE VEHICLE
Improper use of the vehicle or the lack of proper mainte-

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death resulting from loss of vehicle control, the
following warnings must be observed:
When driving vehicle, consider the terrain,
traffic conditions and the environmental fac-
tors which effect the terrain and the ability to
control the vehicle.
Use extra care and reduced speed when
driving on poor surfaces, such as loose dirt,
wet grass, gravel, etc.
