NOTICE: Read the following warnings before
operating vehicle:
When the vehicle is without an
operator, engage the parking
brake, turn the key switch to the
OFF position, and remove the key from the switch.
Operate the vehicle only as fast as the terrain and
safety conditions allow. Consider the terrain and
traffic conditions. Consider environmental
conditions that change the terrain and your ability
to control the vehicle.
Do not drive fast downhill. Sudden stops or
change of direction can cause a loss of control.
Use the brake to control the speed of the vehicle
when you drive down a slope.
All travel must be straight up or down hills. Use
cautions if you must drive across a slope.
Stay in designated areas and avoid steep slopes.
When the vehicle is parked, engage the parking
brake.
Always keep feet, legs, hands and arms inside
vehicle.
Do not drive on rough terrain.
Before driving in reverse, make sure the area
behind the vehicle is clear.
Make sure the direction selector is in the correct
position before pressing the accelerator pedal.
Decrease speed before and during turns.
Always completely stop the vehicle before moving
the direction selector.
See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for the vehicle
load and seat capacity (See VEHICLE
SPECIFICATIONS on page 131).
NOTICE: Read the following information and
warnings before operating vehicle:
In any product, components will eventually fail to per-
form properly as the result of normal use, age, wear or
abuse.
The manufacturer can not know all possible component
failures or the methods that failures can occur.
A vehicle in need of repair does not operate correctly
and can be dangerous.
Be careful when you service the vehicle. Be aware of
your safety and the safety of other people in the area.
Some components are heavy, spring loaded, corrosive,
explosive, can cause high amperage or get hot. Battery
acid and hydrogen gas can cause injury. Do not put your
hands, face, feet or body in a location that can expose
them to injury if an unexpected situation occurs.
Always use the correct tools shown in the tool list and
wear safety equipment.
Remove all jewelry before you
service the vehicle.
Do not allow loose clothing or hair to contact the
moving parts.
Do not touch hot objects.
The drive wheels must be lifted and supported on
jack stands before servicing the powertrain when
the motor is in operation.
When servicing the vehicle,
always wear eye protection.
Be careful when working
around batteries or using
solvents or compressed air.
Use wrenches with insulation
to decrease the risk of a short-circuit if a wrench
falls across the battery terminals. A battery short-
circuit can cause an explosion.
To prevent the risk of battery explosion, keep all
flammable materials, open flames or sparks away
from the batteries.
