4.0 OPERATION
4.1 Failure to Inspect Before Operating
Always perform a pre-ride inspection before each use of your
vehicle to make sure it's in safe operating condition. Failure to
inspect and verify that the upfitted vehicle is in safe operating
condition before operating increases the risk of an accident.
4.2 Operating on Pavement
Operating this upfitted vehicle on paved surfaces (including
streets, hardened paths, parking lots, and driveways) will
seriously affect handling and control of the vehicle, and may
cause the vehicle to lose control. This vehicle's tires are DOT
rated but designed for off-road use only, not for use on
pavement. Avoid operating the vehicle on pavement. If you
must operate on a paved surface, travel slowly, make turns
cautiously and do not make sudden maneuvers or stops.
4.3 Operating on Public Roads
Operating this vehicle on public streets, roads or highways
could result in a collision with another vehicle. Never operate
this vehicle on any public street, road or highway, including
dirt and gravel roads. Be aware that in many states, it's illegal
to operate off-road vehicles of this type on public streets, roads
and highways.
4.4 Operating at Excessive Speeds
Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds significantly
increases the operator's risk of losing control. Always operate
at a speed that is appropriate for the terrain, visibility,
conditions, your operator skills and your other occupant’s
skills.
