When driving at full speed on a dirt road, loose surfaces or wet grass, vehicle stopping distance will increase. If the

vehicle is fully loaded, it will take longer to stop than with no load. When operating vehicle in wet weather conditions,

remember that the brakes may need to be

lightly applied in order to provide enough friction to dry the brake unit. If

wet, the brakes will lose much of their effect.
Slow down when in unfamiliar terrain. Slow down when cresting a hill in an area that you are unfamiliar with.
Some hills are too steep to climb. If you attempt to climb a hill that is too steep or if you are unable to achieve ade-

quate traction,

do not attempt to turn around on the hill. Slowly back straight down the hill using the service

brake to control speed.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

and comply with all local laws and regulations governing the use of light duty utility vehicles. To

prevent severe injury or death while driving, be aware of the following:
Environmental hazards such as steep slopes, overhanging limbs, etc.

REPAIR

Some servicing operations may require the front wheels, the rear wheels, or the entire vehicle to be raised.

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death from a vehicle falling from a jack:
Be sure the vehicle is on a firm and level surface.
Never get under a vehicle while it is supported by a jack.
Use jack stands and test the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Always place chocks in front and behind the wheels not being raised.
Use extreme care since the vehicle is extremely unstable during the lifting process.

When lifting the vehicle, position the jacks and jack stands at the areas indicated only.
