SAFETY
- 13 -
●
Always follow proper procedures for going uphill. If you lose momentum and
cannot continue up a hill, back down the hill with the engine in reverse gear.
Use engine braking to help you go slowly. If necessary, use the brakes
gradually to help you go slowly.
●
Always check terrain carefully before going down hills. Go as slowly as
possible. Never go down a hill at high speed.
● Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
●
Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water or water deeper than the
floorboards on this model. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability.
Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several
times to let friction dry out the linings.
●
Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you
operate in reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly. Do not
brake abruptly when carrying loads in the cargo bed.
●
Always use the size and type of tires specified in this manual.
●
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
● Never exceed the stated load capacity. Cargo should be as far forward in
the bed as possible, and distributed evenly from side to side. Be sure
cargo is secured so that it cannot move around during operation. Reduce
speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or pulling a
trailer. Keep longer distance for braking.
