Land Operation
Vehicle Preparation
Before operating the Mudd-Ox, complete the following vehicle preparation:
• Complete vehicle maintenance as described throughout this manual.
• Ensure all floor boards and engine cover are secured in place to keep foreign objects out of the drivetrain.
• Place roll bar in the “up” position and verify safety bolts and clips are in place.
• Inspect fuel tank, fuel lines and fuel fill for potential leaks or spilled fuel. If there is any spilled fuel, immediately
clean and service vehicle before further use as serious injury may occur. Use the fuel gauge located on the dash
to ensure the fuel tank is full.
• If at any time during operation there is an unusual noise, sound or smell coming from the Mudd-Ox, inspect im-
mediately.
• Ensure the weight capacity is not overloaded, and distribute weight evenly.
• Load enough supplies to last in case of emergency.
Occupant Preparation
• If applicable, the front passenger must properly adjust the grab handle (Figure-1) by removing the pin and sliding
the T-bar in/out. It should be close enough to reach with both hands, but not pressing against the passenger’s
body. Verify the safety pin is secured properly reinstalled.
• Passenger must hold onto the bar at all times. Rear passengers must locate the grab rails and hold onto them at
all times (Figure-2).
• All front occupants must wear seat belts, rear occupants if seat belts equipped, and all wear DOT-rated helmets.
