SAFETY INFORMATION
Be a responsible owner
As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your Ranch po-
ny.While understanding all parts of this manual are important for vehicle ownership, be sure to
read this chapter and the instructions in Chapter 7 before operating the Ranch pony.Also use these
two chapters and the labels on the vehicle to instruct new operators and passengers. Do not allow
anyone else to operate your vehicle or ride as a passenger if you are unsure that he/she is willing
and able to follow these instructions.
Get to know your vehicle
This off-road vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from cars, ATVs, go-cars and golf-cars.
Follow these instructions to reduce your risk of an accident and to reduce the risk of serious injury
or death in the event of an accident.

Before you operate the vehicle
Prepare yourself and your passenger:
●This vehicle is intended for use only by an operator 16 or older with a valid motor vehicle
license.
●This vehicle is designed to carry the driver and one passenger. Never carry passengers in
the cargo bed.
●Both driver and passenger should wear seat belts properly.
●Both driver and passenger must be able to put both feet on the floorboard while seated
upright with their back against the back-rests. Passenger must be able to reach and hold
the handholds within the cage/frame.
●Both driver and passenger should wear an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly.
Both driver and passenger should also wear eye protection (goggles or face shield), gloves,
over-the-ankle boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants.
●Do not drive or ride as passenger after using drugs or alcohols.

8
Prepare your vehicle
Perform the pro-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating
condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage. See Chapter 5 for a list of pre-operation checks.
Prepare your load or trailer
Carrying loads, towing a trailer or pulling objects can affect handling stability and cause the risk of
overturns or other accidents.
●Read Chapter 6 before loading, towing or pulling objects.
●Do not overload the vehicle or trailer. Refer to label in cargo bed for cargo bed limit. Refer to
label next to hitch for tongue weight and trailer load limits.
●Keep weight in the cargo bed centered side to side, and as low and as far forward as possi-
ble.
●Secure cargo so that it will not shift – a loose load could change handling unexpectedly or
be thrown forward and strike occupants.

While using the Ranch pony
Keep your body completely inside the vehicle at all times. Keep both hands on the steering
wheel. Be sure the passenger is seated, belted, and holding onto the handholds. Close doors
before driving. Any part of your body (arms, legs and head) outside the vehicle can be struck
by objects your vehicle is passing or crushed by the vehicle cage/frame in a rollover accident.
Watch for branches, brush, or other hazards that could enter the vehicle.
Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving, even on flat, open areas, can cause loss of control,
including rollovers. The vehicle has higher ground clearance and other features to handle
rugged terrain, and, as a result, can overturn in situations where some other vehicles may not.

10
Avoid rollovers:
●Use carefully when turning:
●Turning the steering wheel too far or too fast can result in a rollover.
●Avoid sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and never do donuts.
●Slow down before entering a turn and avoid hard braking in a turn.
●When making tight turns from a stop or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard accelera-
tion.
●Drive straight up and down inclines, not across them. If crossing a hill is unavoidable,
drive slowly and turn downhill immediately if you feel the vehicle may tip.
●Avoid paved surfaces. Turn gradually and go slowly if you must drive on pavement. This
vehicle is designed for off-road use only.
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or roll, keep your body completely inside the pro-
tective structure of the vehicle:
