machine from the normal operating position.
Think Safety First
Please read all safety instructions and symbols in the
safety section. Knowing this information could help
you or bystanders avoid injury.
Operating on wet grass, ice or slippery steep
slopes can cause sliding and loss of control.
Tracks dropping over edges can cause roll
overs, which may result in serious injury, death
or drowning.
Read and follow the rollover protection
instructions and warnings.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of
rollover:
•
Do not operate near drop-offs or near water.
•
Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
•
Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
Always use seat belts
