SAFETY
The Marsh Master is an amphibious track vehicle designed for wetland terrain. It should not be
used in rocky, hard terrain. It is a powerful machine that should be operated and maintained with
respect and caution. Misuse or carelessness can result in serious personal injury, damage to the
machine, or both. Safety precautions must be observed at all times.
This section outlines basic safety procedures that apply to operation, maintenance, and machine
adjustment.
OPERATOR QUALIFICATIONS
Inexperienced personnel should not operate the Marsh Master. It is important that qualified
personnel study and understand this manual before attempting to operate the machine. Particular
attention should be given to the “Controls” section.
GENERAL SAFETY
Prior to operating the machine, become fully familiar with the controls and the function of
each.
Turn the engine off when making any adjustments on the tracks, control linkages, or hydraulic
components.
Do not operate the machine from any position other than the front seats.
Make periodic checks for hydraulic or fuel leaks.
Make sure all passengers are seated before putting the machine in motion.
Do not overfill fuel tanks. Leave an air space of at least 2” at the top of the tank for expansion.
Remove portable fuel tanks from the machine when replenishing fuel supply.
If any fuel is spilled in the buggy, clean up immediately. Spilled fuel could potentially migrate
into the pontoons, creating an explosive atmosphere.
Keep hands and feet clear of the tracks while under way.
Avoid extreme grades 35
maximum angle when ascending or descending and 25
maximum
angle on a side hill.
Extra caution should be used when maneuvering in congested areas.
