Owner’s Guide
COMMON SENSE OPERATION
THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A TOY. If not operated properly and responsibly, it can cause severe injury or death to the oper-
ator, passengers or bystanders. All operators should possess a valid driver’s license. Children should not be permitted to
operate the vehicle. Children may not have the skill, judgement or strength to operate this or similar vehicles.
Alcohol, drugs and many over the counter medications reduce the ability of the driver to operate the vehicle safely.
Always review side effects of any medication with a doctor or pharmacist before operating vehicle.
When driving at full speed on a dirt road, loose surfaces or wet grass, vehicle stopping distance will increase. If the vehi-
cle is fully loaded, it will take longer to stop than with no load. When operating vehicle in wet weather conditions, remem-
ber that the brakes may need to be lightly applied in order to provide enough friction to dry the brake unit. If wet, the
brakes will lose much of their effect.
Slow down when in unfamiliar terrain. Slow down when cresting a hill in an area that you are unfamiliar with.
Some hills are too steep to climb. If you attempt to climb a hill that is too steep or if you are unable to achieve adequate
traction, do not attempt to turn around on the hill. Slowly back straight down the hill using the service brake to
control speed.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
As a responsible user, practice respect for all wildlife and their habitat. Respect private property
and comply with all local laws and regulations governing the use of light duty utility vehicles. To
prevent severe injury or death while driving, be aware of the following:
Environmental hazards such as steep slopes, overhanging limbs, etc.
Danger of fire when vehicle is operated over dry combustible organic material.
When driving, be aware of environmental hazards such as steep slopes, overhanging limbs, etc. Be aware of the danger
of fire when the gasoline powered vehicle is operated over dry combustible organic material.
REPAIR
Some servicing operations may require the front wheels, the rear wheels, or the entire vehicle to be raised.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from a vehicle falling from a jack:
Be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level surface.
Never get under a vehicle while it is supported by a jack.
Use jack stands and test the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Always place chocks in front and behind the wheels not being raised.
Use extreme care since the vehicle is extremely unstable during the lifting process.
Remove load from vehicle before lifting.
Ensure that no one is near vehicle while lifting.
When lifting the vehicle, position the jacks and jack stands at the areas indicated only.
