Avoid Tipping

TCAL45388
TCAL45388-UN-03APR13

Accidents resulting in serious injury or death can occur from tipping the utility vehicle. Observe the following practices to help prevent accidents:

  • Do not misuse the utility vehicle. The utility vehicle is not designed for recreational riding.
  • Drive very slowly when turning. Sharp turns could cause the utility vehicle to tip over.
  • Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on slopes or on rough ground.
  • Do not overload vehicle and avoid shifting loads. Reduce load when operating over rough or hilly terrain.
  • Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Be especially cautious when changing direction on slopes.
  • Stay alert for holes, rocks, and other hidden hazards in the terrain.
  • Keep away from drop-offs, ditches, embankments, as well as ponds and other bodies of water. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge of a cliff or ditch or if the edge caves in.
  • Keep front wheels straight at crest of hill or going over bumps.
  • When descending a hill, remove foot from accelerator and apply brakes to reduce speed and maintain control.
  • Do not make changes or modifications to the utility vehicle.
