lots, and streets.

●Always inspect your vehicle each time you use it to be sure it is in safe operating condition, Always
follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in this manual.
●Always keep hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the vehicle at all times during operation. Keep your

between the enclosure and an obstacle outside the vehicle.
●Always keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving.
●Never wrap your thumbs and fingers around the steering wheel. This is particularly important when
driving in rough terrain. The front wheels will move right and left as they respond to the terrain, and
this movement will be felt in the steering wheel. A sudden jolt could wrench the steering wheel around,
and yourthumbs or fingers could be injured if they are in the way of the steering wheel spokes.
●Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to
changing terrain conditions when driving the vehicle.
●Never operate on excessively rough, slippery, or loose terrain until you have learned and practiced
the skills necessary to control the vehicle on such terrain. Always be especially cautious on these
kinds of terrain.
●Never turn at excessive speed. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting toturn at faster
speeds. Do not attempt turns on steep inclines.
●Never operate the vehicle on hills that are too steep for it or for your abilities. Go straight up and down
hills where possible. Maximum slope angle: 15°.

you. Never go over the top of a hill at speed if you cannot see what is on other side.
●Always follow proper procedures for going uphill.If you lose control 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 graduallyto help you go slowly.

speed.
●Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.

Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If
necessary, apply the brake several times to let friction dry out the linings.

safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.
