tors which effect the terrain and the ability to
control the vehicle.

S t a y i n d e s i g n a t e d a r e a s a n d a v o i d
extremely rough terrain.
Maintain a safe speed when driving down
hill. Use service brake to control speed
when traveling down an incline. A sudden
stop or change of direction may result in
loss of control.
Slow down before and during turns. All turns
should be made at reduced speed.
Never drive vehicle up, down, or across an
incline that exceeds 14° (25% grade).
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death resulting from improper vehicle opera-
tion, the following warnings must be observed:
Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for
seating capacity.
To prevent inadvertent movement when the
vehicle is to be left unattended, engage the
park brake, move direction selector to for-
ward 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.
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 vehi-
cle 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 operat-
ing 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 (Ref Fig. 15 on page 13).
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.
Oil Dipsticks are unique to this model vehicle. Do not
interchange oil dipsticks between models.
The oil should be changed in accordance with the Peri-
odic Service Schedule while the engine is warm. See
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE for checking oil level
and changing oil procedures.
