Turning Radius
It is important to always check your surroundings before turning the Mudd-Ox. Look for objects such as trees and
rocks, changes in terrain elevation, and other people. With the split-shifting system, the Vengeance is capable of
turning 360 degrees within its own radius via counter-rotating its wheels. Never counter-rotate or sharply turn the
Mudd-Ox at high speeds or on harsh terrain.
Steep Grades
Never operate the Mudd-Ox over 25 degree grades or on side slopes. Check your specific engine manual to read
manufacturer’s recommendations on maximum grade. Do not make sudden adjustments or put the Mudd-Ox into
a neutral position, as the vehicle can lose control and roll down the hill where severe injury or death can occur.
When approaching or descending grades, always drive head-on to prevent upsetting the vehicle. Maintain control
of the levers. Always drive slow and gentle to prevent loss of traction.
Mud and Snow
Always survey an area before driving the Mudd-Ox into unusual terrain. On soft grounds including but not limited
to mud and snow, remain cautious about bottoming out the vehicle. This occurs when the Mudd-Ox tires or tracks
are no longer touching the ground, and rather the machine is resting on the lower body. Often times it is caused by
driving into deep ruts or too deep of snow. Always look for alternative routes if you encounter these circumstances.
Winter
Mudd-Ox is capable of operating in cold climates. Check the engine manufacturer’s manual for information about
cold weather and if applicable, preheating the engine. We recommend equipping the machine with a top and heat-
er system. Occupants must take necessary precaution as explained under Safety . It is important to never allow
water to fill inside the lower body, as it may freeze and seize the driveline.
Desert
Similar to cold temperatures, desert climates also require additional precaution. See Instrumentation Panel for
information on vehicle temperatures. Never exceed the written temperatures as well as engine manufacturer’s
recommendations. Always bring plenty of water and additional resources for all occupants. It is recommended to
install a Cab - Canvas with the side curtains rolled up to allow for maximum shade and air flow to occupants.
