Important Safe Operation Practices

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.
