OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Electric 4x4
Low-Speed Vehicle
(LSV)

WARNING
• THE TOMBERLIN VANISH IS EQUIPPED TO OPERATE AT A
TOP SPEED OF 25 MPH (40KPH) AND IS INTENDED FOR
USE AS A LOW-SPEED-VEHICLE.
NEVER OPERATE THE VEHICLE ON ANY ROAD PUBLIC
OR PRIVATE WITH A POSTED SPEED LIMIT ABOVE
35 MPH.
WARNING
WHEN OPERATING VEHICLE ON PUBLIC ROADS
THIS VEHICLE OFFERS MUCH LESS CRASH
PROTECTION THAN A REGULAR CAR, VAN, OR
TRUCK. THIS MEANS A HIGHER RISK OF INJURY OR
DEATH IN COLLISIONS, EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. THE
HIGHER THE SPEED OF THE TRAFFIC AROUND YOU,
THE HIGHER THE RISK OF INJURY.
To reduce these risks:
• Obey all trafc regulations.
• Avoid roads with regular trafc, even if the speed limit is low.
• Whenever possible, stay on roads and lanes limited to low
speed vehicles.
• Wear your safety belts at all times.
• Avoid operating vehicle at night, because your vehicle may be
hard for others to see.
• To reduce the chance of the vehicle tipping over, reduce
speed when turning and maneuvering thru curves and hills.
• Never drink and drive. Not only is drinking and driving unsafe,
but doing so may violate state and local laws.
WARNING
THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS OR EMITS CHEMICALS OR
SUBSTANCES THAT HAVE BEEN DETERMINED BY THE
