GENERAL OPERATION

Read the following warnings before attempting to operate the vehicle:

When you leave the vehicle, turn the key to the OFF position and remove the key from the

vehicle.

Drive the vehicle only as fast as terrain and conditions allow. Consider the terrain and traffic

conditions. Consider environmental conditions that change the terrain and your ability to control

the vehicle.

Do not drive fast downhill. Sudden stops or change of direction can cause a loss of control.

Use the brake to control the speed of the vehicle when you drive down a slope.

When possible, stay in approved areas. Do not drive on steep slopes.

Always keep feet, legs, hands and arms inside vehicle.

Do not drive on rough terrain.

Before you drive in the reverse direction, make sure the area behind the vehicle is clear.

Make sure the direction selector is in the correct position before you press the accelerator pedal.

Decrease speed before and during turns.

Make sure you completely stop the vehicle before you move the direction selector.

See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for the vehicle load and seat capacity.

Read the following text and warnings before you service the vehicle.

Normal use, wear or abuse can cause some components on the vehicle to fail. The manufacturer can not know all
possible component failures or the methods that failures can occur.

A vehicle in need of repair does not function properly and can be dangerous.

Be careful when you service the vehicle. Be aware of your safety and the safety of other people in the area.

Some components are heavy, spring loaded, corrosive, explosive, can cause high amperage or get hot. Battery acid and
hydrogen gas can cause injury. Do not put your hands, face, feet or body in a location that can expose them to injury if an
unexpected situation occurs.

Always use the correct tools shown in the tool list and wear safety equipment.

Remove all jewelry before you service the vehicle.

Do not allow loose clothing or hair to contact the moving parts.

Do not touch the hot objects.
