SAFETY INTRODUCTION
SAFETY INTRODUCTION
Can result if you do not follow these instructions:
• The minimum recommended driving age for this vehicle is 16
years.
• Never operate this vehicle without wearing an approved
motorcycle helmet that fits properly.
• Wear eye protection (goggle or a face shield), gloves, over-
the-ankle boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and long pants.
• Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating
this vehicle.
• Never attempt jumps or other stunts.
• Never operate at speeds too fast for your skills or the
conditions. Always go at a speed that is proper for the
terrain, visibility, operating conditions, and your experience.
• Always inspect your vehicle each time you use it to be sure it
is in safe operating condition.
• 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 cautious on
these kinds of terrain.
• Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures as
well as the schedules described in this manual.
• Never operate on hills that are slippery or ones where you
will not be able to see safely far enough ahead of you. Never
go over the top of a hill at speed if you cannot see what is on
other side.
• Always keep both hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the
vehicle at all times during operation. Keep your feet on the
floorboard. Never hold onto the enclosure, otherwise, you

could be injured.
• Always keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving.
• Always go slowly and be careful when operating on unfamiliar
terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when
driving the vehicle.
• 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 your thumbs or fingers could be injured if
they are in the way of the steering wheel spokes.
• Never turn at excessive speed. Practice turning at slow
speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not
attempt turns on steep inclines.
• 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 gradually to help you go
slowly.
• Never operate the vehicle on hills that are too steep. Go
straight up and down hills where possible.
• 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 leaving water. If necessary, apply the brake
several times to let friction dry out the linings.
• Always be sure there are no obstacles or people are behind
you when you operate in reverse. When it is safe to proceed
in reverse, go slowly.
• Always check terrain before going down hills. Go as slowly as
possible. Never go down a hill at high speed.

SAFETY INTRODUCTION
• Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
• 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 cargo 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 during operation. Reduce your speed
and follow the instructions in this manual for carrying cargo
or pulling a trailer. Allow a greater distance for braking.
• Brake discs can be over heated after continuous braking.
Allow brake disc to cool before servicing.
• Avoid the risks related to contact with hot surfaces, including
residual risks such as filling oil or coolant in hot engines or
transmissions.
