Additional Warnings (continued)

Engine/Motor Safety

Keep the engine/motor free of dirt and debris, especially in the

throttle linkage area.

Never start the engine/motor without checking to see that the throttle

control is in the idle position.

Never start the engine/motor unless you are properly seated with

your hands firmly on the controls.

Never tamper with, alter, or change the vehicle’s engine/motor

settings. The engine/motor governor is factory set and protects

the engine/motor from damage. Excessive engine/motor speed is

potentially dangerous to the operator, bystanders, and the engine/

motor itself.

All guards must be in place prior to starting the engine.

Operating the vehicle in conditions where water, mud, snow, dirt,

sand or other debris can get into the throttle cable conduit and/or the

throttle mechanism can cause the cable or throttle mechanism to

bind, which may lead to throttle sticking, loss of control, and

possible death, injury, and/or property damage.

Fasteners

Make sure that all screws, nuts, and bolts are properly tightened.

Never over-tighten hardware that is designed to move, such as front

and rear wheels. Restricting moving parts can cause a loss of

control and possible injury or death.

Always replace torque-type locknuts with new locknuts of the same

type after removing the old locknuts.
