LOOSE CLOTHING, LONG HAIR, OR ARTICLES WORN BY ANY
OPERATOR OR PASSENGER MUST BE FULLY CONTAINED OR COVERED
TO PREVENT THEM FROM POSSIBLY BEING CAUGHT IN ROTATING PARTS
OF THE VEHICLE OR THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT WHILE RIDING.
FAILURE TO OBEY COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY OF THE
OPERATOR OR PASSENGER.
14.
DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FEET, OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE BODY
OR ANY CLOTHING NEAR THE ENGINE, MUFFLER, WHEELS, CHAIN AND
OTHER ROTATING PARTS OF THE VEHICLE WHILE RIDING OR RUNNING
THE ENGINE. Caution must be used in performing required maintenance on
or near an operating engine. Special caution should be taken after the engine
has been running, since the engine and other drive components may be
extremely hot.
15.
Wet, slippery, rough, or steep terrain is potentially dangerous
and may result in injury if proper caution in not observed. Slow speeds are
required to safely operate this vehicle under those conditions. The operator
must use mature judgment, skill, and experience to choose a speed suitable
for the terrain and riding conditions.
16.
The governor settings for this vehicle’s engine must not be tampered
with, altered, or changed. The governor is set by the engine manufacturer and
limits the maximum speed of the engine (and vehicle) and protects the engine
from damage. Excessive speeds are potentially dangerous to the operator/
passenger, and the engine.
17.
Each time before using this vehicle, the fuel supply should checked.
The fuel tank should never be filled while the engine is running or while the
engine is hot. Do not fill tank in a closed area such as a garage, while smok
-
ing, or in the vicinity of an open flame. Do not overfill the tank. There should
not be any fuel in the filler neck. Replace cap tightly to prevent spillage of fuel
and potential fire hazard. After filling tank, move the vehicle at least 15 feet
away from the spot of filling before starting.
18.
If the vehicle should start making unusual noise or vibrating abnor-
mally, the engine should be stopped and the spark plug wire disconnected.
The vehicle should then be checked for damaged. Excessive noise or vibra-
tion is generally a warning of loose or worn parts.
