COMMON SENSE OPERATION

Never transport loaded firearms on or in vehicle
Check that firearms are unloaded with the safety engaged and are properly secured with muzzle
pointing in a safe direction before operating vehicle.
Be aware of other firearms in proximity to operator and passengers.
This vehicle is not a toy.
If not operated properly and responsibly, it can cause severe injury or death to the opera-
tor, passengers or bystanders. All operators should possess a valid driver’s license. Children should not be permitted
to operate the vehicle. Children may not have the skill, judgement or strength to operate this or similar vehicles.
Alcohol, drugs and many over the counter medications reduce the ability of the driver to operate the vehicle safely.
Always review side effects of any medication with a doctor or pharmacist before operating vehicle.
Protective clothing and an approved motorcycle helmet are recommended for operator and passengers when oper-
ating vehicle in rough or densely wooded terrain.
When driving at full speed on a dirt road, loose surfaces or wet grass, vehicle stopping distance will increase. If the
vehicle is fully loaded, it will take longer to stop than with no load. When operating vehicle in wet weather conditions,
remember that the brakes may need to be
lightly
applied in order to provide enough friction to dry the brake unit. If
wet, the brakes will lose much of their effect.
Slow down when in unfamiliar terrain. Slow down when cresting a hill in an area that you are unfamiliar with.
Some hills are too steep to climb. If you attempt to climb a hill that is too steep or if you are unable to achieve ade-
quate traction,
do not attempt to turn around on the hill. Slowly back straight down the hill using the service
brake to control speed.
