To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from improper vehicle operation, the
following warnings must be observed:
Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for seating capacity.
Depressing accelerator pedal will release foot operated park brake and may cause inadvertent
vehicle movement. Turn the key to the ‘OFF’ position whenever the vehicle is parked.
To prevent inadvertent movement when the vehicle is to be left unattended, engage the park
brake, move direction selector to forward position, turn key to ‘OFF’ position and remove key.
Make sure that the direction selector is in correct position before attempting to start the vehicle.
Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting the direction selector.
Improper use of the vehicle or the lack of proper maintenance may result in damage or decreased performance.
Do not take vehicle out of ‘gear’ while in motion (coast).
Check the area behind the vehicle before operating in reverse.
All occupants must be seated. Keep entire body inside vehicle and hold on while vehicle is in motion.
RUN-IN
Check for oil or fuel leaks that could have developed in shipment from the factory. Avoid full throttle starts and rapid
acceleration until the engine has achieved operating temperature.
All engines consume more oil than normal during the first hours of operation. As internal moving parts are run-in, oil
consumption should gradually decrease until the rate of consumption stabilizes.
Check the oil level per the Periodic Service Schedule. Add oil if the level on the dipstick indicates that oil is in the add
oil range.
Check Oil Level on Dipstick
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
The oil dipstick/fill cap must be in place before operating the engine. Failure to install the dipstick/fill cap will result in oil
becoming contaminated and/or being discharged into the engine compartment.
