MT push - Owner’s Manual 

Issue 1 

 

A word about Warnings, Accidents and Safety 

The MT push is designed to be used for transportation, recreation and exercise. Riding off road 
can be dangerous, especially if you or your pusher go beyond the limits of your ability.  
 
All terrain riding involves risk of injury and damage. By choosing to ride an MT push, you assume 
the responsibility for that risk, so you need to know and to practice the rules of safe and 
responsible riding and of proper use and maintenance. Proper use and maintenance of your MT 
push reduces risk of injury.  
 
If you crash or apply force that is higher than the limits of your MT push, you are very likely to 

cause damage to it or its parts. If your MT push has been damaged and you crash or load it again 

later, this additional impact or loading can cause a failure at a much lower load. 

 
This Manual contains many “Warnings” and “Cautions” concerning the consequences of failure to 
maintain or inspect your MT push and of failure to follow safe riding practices.  
 

 

The combination of the safety alert symbol            and the word 

WARNING 

indicates a 

potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.  

 
•   The combination of the safety alert symbol            and the word 

CAUTION 

indicates a 

potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, 
or is an alert against unsafe practices.  

 
•   The word 

CAUTION 

used 

without

 the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not 

avoided, could result in serious damage to the MT push or the voiding of your warranty. 

  
Many of the Warnings and Cautions say “you may lose control and fall”. Because any fall can 
result in serious injury or even death, we do not always repeat the warning of possible injury or 
death.  
 
Because it is impossible to anticipate every situation or condition which can occur while riding, 
this Manual makes no representation about the safe use of the MT push under all conditions. 
There are risks associated with the use of any MT push, which cannot be predicted or avoided, 
and which are the sole responsibility of the rider.
