Operator Safety
• Never operate your vehicle in fast-flowing water or in water deeper
than that specified in this manual. Wet brakes may have reduced stop-
ping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply
them lightly several times to let friction dry out the pads.
• Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind your vehicle
when operating in reverse. When it's safe to proceed in reverse, move
slowly. Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse.
• Always use the proper size and type of tires specified in this manual.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as specified on safety labels.
• Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of
accessories.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this vehicle. Cargo should
be properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and fol-
low the instructions in this manual for hauling cargo or pulling a
trailer. Allow a greater distance for braking.
• Always set the park brake and remove the key when leaving the vehi-
cle unattended.
