SAFETY INFORMATION
Page vii
This manual has been designed to assist in maintaining the vehicle in accordance with procedures developed by the
manufacturer. Adherence to these procedures and troubleshooting tips will ensure the best possible service from the product.
To reduce the chance of personal injury or property damage, the following must be carefully observed:
GENERAL
Many vehicles are used for a variety of tasks beyond the original intended use of the vehicle; therefore, it is impossible to
anticipate and warn against every possible combination of circumstances that may occur. No warnings can take the place of
good common sense and prudent driving practices.
Good common sense and prudent driving practices do more to prevent accidents and injury than all of the warnings and
instructions combined. The manufacturer strongly suggests that all users and maintenance personnel read this entire manual
paying particular attention to the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS contained therein.
If you have any questions regarding this vehicle, contact your closest representative or write to the address on the back cover
of this publication, Attention: Product Service Department.
TEXTRON Golf, Turf & Specialty Products reserves the right to make design changes without obligation to make these
changes on units previously sold and the information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.
TEXTRON Golf, Turf & Specialty Products is not liable for errors in this manual or for incidental or consequential damages
that result from the use of the material in this manual.
This vehicle conforms to the current applicable standard(s) for safety and performance requirements.
These vehicles are designed and manufactured for off-road use. They do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards of the United States of America (USA) and are not equipped for operation on public streets. Some communities
may permit these vehicles to be operated on their streets on a limited basis and in accordance with local ordinances.
Refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle seating capacity.
Never modify the vehicle in any way that will alter the weight distribution of the vehicle, decrease its stability or
increase the speed beyond the factory specification. Such modifications can cause serious personal injury or death.
Modifications that increase the speed and/or weight of the vehicle will extend the stopping distance and may reduce the
stability of the vehicle. Do not make any such modifications or changes. The manufacturer prohibits and disclaims
responsibility for any such modifications or any other alteration which would adversely affect the safety of the vehicle.
Vehicles that are capable of higher speeds must limit their speed to no more than the speed of other vehicles when used in a
golf course environment. Additionally, speed should be further moderated by the environmental conditions, terrain and
common sense.
