Safe Operation
2-1
All operators, including experienced UTV drivers or
passengers, should carefully read and fully
understand this Users Manual, and operate strictly
as the manual states in order to achieve the best
performance and avoid accidents. Others who will
use your UTV should be trained on how to operate
the UTV and be required to read this manual before
operation.
1. Safety Instructions:
1. Understand this UTV by reading this manual
and understanding all the components of the
vehicle. Only start and operate the vehicle after
finishing reading this manual.
2. Pay close attention to the warning and caution
labels on the UTV.
3. Understand completely and learn to use the
safety devices (roll-over protective structure,
seat belts), and never change the original
safety devices. If safety devices are damaged,
consult your local dealer for replacement.
Always use seat belts.
[1] Press the button [a] direction；
[2] Pull the locking [b] direction；
4. Do not wear loose articles of clothing during
operation, as these can be drawn into moving
parts on the vehicle and could cause a severe
injury to occur.
You should always wear protective equipment,
such as helmet, boots, eye protection, ear
protection, and gloves etc.
5) Only a qualified driver should operate this UTV.
Never operate after drinking, using drugs or
controlled products, or while fatigued.
6) Always perform the pre-operation checks as
following:
1) Check seat belt for wear or damage, if
necessary, replace it.
2) Check brakes, throttle, brake pedal and
other mechanical parts for proper
operation. If you discover any
irregularities, replace related parts as
necessary. Periodically check the fittings
and fasteners.
3) Check engine oil level and engine coolant
level.
4) Check that the UTV is equipped to handle
the surroundings.
5) Check and keep vehicle clean. Sludge,
grease and debris can cause a fire and
severe injury.
7) Passenger quantity and loading:
1) Only the driver and one passenger inside
cab. It is suggested that children under age
of 5 not be allowed as a passenger.
Single-row vehicle’s loading limit is 660lbs (300KG).

conditions. Never exceed the weight limits for
operation.

Safe Operation
2-2
8) Never allow unauthorized persons to repair this
UTV. This may affect vehicle performance and
cause injury.
9) This UTV is designed and manufactured for
off-road use only so never drive on paved

passenger handrail, used with both hands to
grasp and add additional personal stability.
Adjust the lever (2) by loosening (b), then pull
or push the Handle to the desired length and
tighten (2) direction (a).
2. Operation
1. Start the engine only in an open ventilated
area. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless
and is emitted from the engine and can cause
death in areas with poor ventilation.
2. Never start the vehicle or operate the gear
selector unless seated in the driver’s seat.
3. Never start the engine until the select lever is
placed in “N” position and the brake is in the
brake position.
4. The driver and passenger shall always wear
their seatbelt while the vehicle is being
operated.
5. Operators of the UTV should not wear
earphones.
6. Do not accelerate quickly when starting the
engine, especially driving on rough terrain as
this can cause injury or death. Press the
accelerator pedal slowly.
7. Drive at slow speeds before braking.
8. Never drive over terrain such as a ditch, a hole,
dams, excessive mud, or the vehicle can get
stuck because of the vehicles weight.
9. Always pay close attention to your
surroundings, and check for streets, trail
intersections or other obstacles.
10. Always use signals in advance of turns.

passenger area of the vehicle. Never try to
stand while operating the vehicle.
14. Do not tow passengers, or attempt to jump the
vehicle.
3. Children safety instructions

vehicle. Children like to imitate adults and this could
lead to an accident.
Do not leave children alone beside the vehicle.
Keep children from the operating area of the
vehicle.
Turn off the engine and remove the key when
children are in the operating area. Never carry
children in the cargo area. This is very dangerous

vehicle, even if they are under adult supervision.
Always check for people or obstacles behind the
vehicle before shifting the vehicle into reverse.
Avoid a collision with an obstacle or person.
Park the vehicle on a firm, flat area. If parking on a
slope, you should use hand lever parking brake,
remove the key.
4. Driving on a slope
Be cautious when riding on a slope, as this is the
main reason for loss of control, and overturn,
leading to severe injury or even death.
1. Drive in a straight line on a slope at a low-
speed.
2. Reduce weight when riding on a slope or rough
terrain.
3. Avoid the sudden application of the brakes
when you go uphill or downhill. Be more careful
when vehicle turns on a slope.
4. If you start to lose momentum or need to park
when climbing, use the hand lever brakes to
come to a stop. Release the brake and begin
to coast down the hill.
5. If do not believe you can operate the UTV
safely in reverse do not attempt to ascend the
slope any further.
6. Riding in mud, a ditch, and on slopes will
increase the risk of an overturn. Be more
cautious when operating. Drive gradually and
slowly when climbing. Avoid sudden changes
of vehicle speed or direction.
5. Driving in harsh conditions
1. Vehicle can be operated during the day or
under good light conditions.
2. Under all conditions, both operator and
passengers should wear helmet and protective
equipment.

conditions, terrain, visibility conditions.
4. Driver should slow down according to road
conditions, terrain, visibility conditions.
5. Be cautious when driving over a ditch, stone
roads or hidden obstacles.
6. Avoid operating in any unknown depth of
water.（water depth should not exceed axle

2. Slow down when turning. Turning at high
speed may result in overturn or even death.
3. Turn on your headlights at high speeds.
4. Drive only when the vehicle speed can be
controlled.
5. When driving at high speeds, sudden turning of
the steering wheel will reduce vehicle stability.
Never sharply turn the steering wheel at high
speeds.

7. Instructions for carrier
1. Never carry a passenger in the cargo area.
2. Evenly distribute the cargo to maintain proper
stability. Avoid overloading the carrier. Cargo
should be securely attached.
3. Reduce loaded weight when driving on poor
road conditions or on steep inclines.
4. Only the driver should be in the seat when
operating the hydraulic dump mechanism (if
applicable). Once lowered, lock the cargo bed
in place before operating the vehicle.
5. Do not put your hands or your body under the
cargo bed when the carrier is lifted (if
applicable). Avoid driving before securing and
locking the cargo bed.
8. Parking
1. Set the gear shift to the “N” position and pull
the braking brake to the top position to park the
vehicle, before the driver exits the vehicle.

10. Maintenance
Stop the vehicle and park it on level ground. Pull
the parking brake and remove all cargo. Place the
shift lever in the “N” position, stop the engine and
remove the key.
1. When working next to the engine, exhaust, or
radiator, work only after it has cooled down.

down before checking the coolant level.
Otherwise, you could be burned by hot fluid or
steam.
3. No smoking when adding electrolyte or
refueling. The fuel tank and battery should be
kept away from sparks. The battery produces
hydrogen and oxygen during charging and this
could accelerate the risk of explosion.
