Operating a Damaged Vehicle
Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident. In the case
of an overturn or other accident, have a qualified service dealer
inspect the entire machine for possible damage, including (but not
limited to) brakes, batteries, and steering systems.
Operating at Excessive Speeds
On hills it is possible for this vehicle to coast at greater than normal
speeds than those encountered on level surfaces. Operating this
vehicle at excessive speeds increases the operator’s risk of losing
control. Limit speeds to no more than the maximum speed on level
ground.
Turning Improperly
Turning improperly could cause loss of traction, loss of control,
accident, or overturn. Never turn abruptly or at sharp angles. Never
turn at high speeds. Never abruptly accelerate while turning.
Always make smooth, controlled movements to complete safe
turns.
Jumps and Stunts
Attempting wheelies, jumps, and other stunts increases the risk of
accident or overturn. Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other
stunts.
Improper Hill Climbing
Climbing hills improperly can cause loss of control or vehicle
overturn. Do not climb a hill or drive down a hill with a slope of 15
degrees or more.
