Avoid Tipping

MXAL43279-UN-15MAR13

Accidents resulting in serious injury or death can occur from tipping the utility vehicle. Observe the following practices to help prevent accidents and always wear an approved helmet when operating the vehicle in an aggressive manner, on rough or uneven terrain, or at higher speeds.

• 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 pedal and apply brakes to reduce speed and maintain control.
• Do not make unauthorized changes or modifications to the utility vehicle.
• This list of potential overturning hazards is not exhaustive.
