SAFE OPERATION - RESPONSIBILITIES
– Never operate on excessively
rough, slippery or loose terrain un-
til you have learned and practiced
the skills necessary to control this
vehicle on such terrain. Always be
especially cautious on these kinds
of terrain.
– Never operate this vehicle on hills
too steep for the vehicle or your abil-
ities. Practice on small inclines.
– Always follow proper procedures
for climbing or going down hills as
described in
RIDING YOUR VEHI-
CLE
. Check the terrain carefully be-
fore you start up or down any hill.
Never climb or descend hills with
excessively slippery or loose sur-
faces. Never go over the top of any
hill at high speed.
– Never attempt steep hills or side
hilling when pulling a trailer.
– Always check for obstacles before
operating in a new area. Always
follow proper procedures when op-
erating over obstacles as described
in
RIDING YOUR VEHICLE
.
– Never operate this vehicle in fast
flowing water or in water deeper
than specified in
RIDING YOUR VE-
HICLE
. Remember that wet brakes
may have reduced stopping ability.
Test your brakes after leaving wa-
ter. If necessary, apply them sev-
eral times to let friction dry out the
brakes.
– Always ensure to properly park the
vehicle on the flattest terrain section
available. Put shift lever in PARK,
stop engine and remove key before
leaving the vehicle.
– Never assume that the vehicle will
go everywhere safely. Sudden
changes in terrain caused by holes,
depressions, banks, softer or harder
“ground” or other irregularities may
cause the vehicle to topple or be-
come unstable. To avoid this, slow
down and always observe the ter-
rain ahead. If the vehicle does begin
to topple or rollover, the best advice
is to immediately steer in the direc-
tion of the rollover! Never attempt
to prevent a rollover with your arms
or legs. You should keep your limbs
inside the cage or ROPS (rollover
protective structure).
