SAFETY INTRODUCTION
• Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating
on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain
conditions when driving the vehicle.
• 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 for it
or for your abilities. 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 reduce 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 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.
• Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
• Do not brake abruptly when carrying loads.
• 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

distributed evenly between the front and rear racks. Be
sure cargo is secured so that it cannot move around during
operation. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this
manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater
distance for braking.
• Brake discs can be over-heated after continuous braking.
Allow brake disc to cool before servicing.
• Be aware of burn and fire risks related to contact with hot
surfaces, including residual risks such as filling of oil or
coolant, hot engines or transmissions.
• Exhaust system components are very hot during and after
use of the vehicle. Hot components can cause burns and fire.
Do not touch hot exhaust system components. Always keep
combustible materials away from the exhaust system.
• Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry
grass. Always inspect the underside of the vehicle and areas
near the exhaust system after driving through tall grass,
weeds, brush, and other tall ground cover. Promptly remove
any grass or debris clinging to the vehicle.
