Always wear the seat belt when operating the utility vehicle.
Use the following guidelines when using a utility
vehicle equipped with OPS:
1.
Be aware of overhead clearances in the area
of operation. Check for clearance of door (or
gate) openings and other overhead objects
such as utility lines and tree branches.
Overhead objects could catch the OPS and
upset the utility vehicle.
2.
Do not modify the OPS by drilling holes for, or
welding accessories to the structure.
3.
Do not use the OPS to pull objects with the
utility vehicle. Use ONLY the utility vehicle
hitch for pulling.
4.
Do not operate the utility vehicle without the
OPS and do not remove the OPS.
5.
In the event of an accident, have the OPS
carefully inspected and, if necessary, replaced
by your Cub Cadet dealer. Do not attempt to
repair the OPS.
