OPERATING THE VEHICLE
Improper use of the vehicle or the lack of proper maintenance may result in damage or decreased performance.
Read the following warnings before attempting to operate the vehicle.
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 factors
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.
Stay in designated areas and avoid extremely rough terrain.
Maintain a safe speed when driving down hill. Use service brake to control speed when trav-
eling down an incline. A sudden stop or change of direction may result in loss of control.
To prevent loss of control, do not move the direction selector of a vehicle while the vehicle is
in motion. Moving the selector will result in a sudden slowing of the vehicle and the beeping
of a warning device.
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).
Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for seating capacity.
Depressing accelerator pedal will release foot operated park brake and may cause inadver-
tent 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 vehi-
cle.
Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting the direction selector.
