●Always check terrain 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. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after

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
