User Manual

and Warranty

USA Edition

Attention:

The Zinger operates by a two lever traction control system which behaves very differently than front wheel steered

vehicles. For this reason it is

imperative that all users read this entire manual before operating a Zinger.

Pay close attention to all

WARNING sections in this manual as well as labels on the Zinger itself.
