operator, 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
operating 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 con-
ditions, 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 ser-
vice brake to control speed.
