Operating Safely

• Read, understand and follow all instructions in the operator’s manual and on the machine before starting.
• Do not misuse the utility vehicle. It is a utility vehicle, not a recreation vehicle.
• The utility vehicle is not intended for use on highways or public roads. It is to be used for off-road use only.
• Slow down and be careful of traffic when operating near or crossing roadways. Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.
• The operator should always make sure that the passenger is aware of correct safety procedures while riding in the utility vehicle.
• The passenger should always use the hand holds.
• Horseplay or recreational riding can lead to accidents, severe bodily injury or death.
• Sit on the center of the seat and keep both feet within the foot platform perimeter. Clean foot platform if dirty, and remove any debris from around foot controls.
• Check for debris under cargo box, especially around brake linkage on each side of the transaxle.
• Always use both hands for steering.
• Know location of controls and how and what they operate.
• Never operate utility vehicle while standing.
• Never operate utility vehicle with the cargo box raised.
• Check brake action before beginning vehicle operation. Adjust or service the brakes as necessary.
• To provide adequate braking ability and traction, do not tow any attachment or loaded trailer unless the cargo box is fully loaded.
• Inspect vehicle before operating. Be sure hardware is tight. Repair or replace damaged, badly worn, or missing parts. Be sure guards and shields are in good condition and fastened in place. Make any necessary adjustments before operating.
• Do not leave vehicle unattended when it is running.
