Operation
General Operation
1.
Read, understand, and follow all
instructions on the vehicle and in the
manual before attempting to operate
or service vehicle. Keep this manual
in a safe place for future and regular
reference and for ordering replacement
parts.
2.
This is an off-highway utility vehicle
and it should not be operated on public
highways. Know and comply with all
laws and regulations governing the use
of off-highway vehicles in your area.
3.
This vehicle handles and maneuvers
differently than a normal passenger
car. Sharp high speed turns and abrupt
maneuvers can cause vehicle to roll over
or go out of control. Slow down when
turning and avoid abrupt maneuvers.
4.
Handling and maneuvering
characteristics of vehicle change
depending upon cargo load. Heavy
loads affect steering, braking, stability,
and overall handling of vehicle.
5.
Be familiar with all instructions and
controls and their proper operation
before starting vehicle.
6.
Never allow adults to operate this
vehicle without proper instruction.
7.
Never allow children under 16 years old
to operate this vehicle. Children 16 years
old and over should read and understand
the operation instructions and safety
rules in this manual and should be trained
and supervised by a parent.
8.
Watch for traffic when operating near
or crossing roadways. This vehicle is not
intended for use on any public roadway.
9.
Do not operate this vehicle while under
the influence of alcohol or drugs.
10.
Never carry more than one passenger.
This vehicle is designed to carry the
driver and one passenger only. No riders
are allowed in cargo box or anywhere
else on vehicle, except in the driver and
passenger seats.
11.
Keep all body parts (i.e. head, arms,
hands, legs, feet) inside vehicle when
vehicle is in motion.
12.
Always remain seated and keep both
hands on the steering wheel when
driving the vehicle.
13.
Sit on the center of the seat and keep
both feet within the foot platform
perimeter. Clean foot platform if dirty
and remove any debris from around foot
controls, e.g. brake pedal.
14.
Do not misuse the vehicle. Reckless
operation can lead to accidents, severe
bodily injury or death.
15.
Inspect area around vehicle before
moving, especially in reverse. Back up
slowly. Always look down and behind
before and while backing to avoid a back-
over accident. Keep bystanders out of area.
16.
Avoid driving through water, since loss
of control may occur. Drive belt may
slip if exposed to water thus reducing
vehicle pulling power and stopping
vehicle entirely. Water depth should not
exceed 15 in. (38 cm).
17.
Always use vehicle lights while operating in
low light situations.
18.
Do not mount or leave vehicle while it is
in motion or in actual operation.
19.
Avoid sudden starts, stops, or turns and
always use a level turn-around area.
20.
Never leave vehicle unattended with the
engine running. Move the shift lever to
“PARK” position, turn ignition key to the
“OFF” position and remove the key.
21.
Check overhead clearances carefully
before driving under low hanging tree
branches, wires, power lines, bridges,
before entering or leaving buildings, or
in any other situation where the operator
and/or occupant protection structure
(OPS) may be struck, which could result in
serious injury.
22.
Always use the occupant protection
structure (OPS) and seat belt for safe
operation. Overturning the utility vehicle
without an OPS, or with an OPS and the
seat belt unfastened, can result in death
or injury.
23.
Always use the seat belt and never
remove the occupant protection
structure (OPS) or operate the vehicle
without the OPS.
24.
The doors are designed to assist in
keeping the operator and passenger
inside the vehicle during operation. Do
not operate vehicle without doors in place.
25.
Improper use of the vehicle or failure
to properly maintain it could result
in decreased vehicle performance or
personal injury.
26.
Engine must be stopped when cleaning,
servicing, adjusting, repairing, or
installing attachments on utility vehicle.
27.
After striking foreign objects, stop the
vehicle and shut off the engine. Inspect
for damage and repair the damage before
restarting and operating.
28.
Do not start or operate vehicle in an
inside area, unless it is adequately
ventilated. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide fumes, which are very
poisonous and can be deadly.
29.
Assure safety interlock switch is adjusted
correctly so engine cannot be started
unless gearshift is in the “PARK” position
with the brake pedal depressed.
