SAFETY

Operator Safety

Turning Improperly

Turning improperly could cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or

overturn. Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in the

owner's manual.
Avoid sharp turns. Never turn at a fast speed. Never make abrupt steering

maneuvers. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster

speeds.

Physical Control of the Vehicle

Removing hands from the steering wheel or hand holds or removing feet from

the floor while riding increases the risk of loss of control and accident or

overturn. The operator should always keep both hands on the steering wheel

during operation. Passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat

with both feet on the floor and with both hands securely grasping the hand

holds.
Always keep head, hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.

Jumps and Stunts

Exhibition driving increases the risk of an accident or overturn. DO NOT do

power slides, “donuts”, jumps or other driving stunts. Avoid exhibition driving.

Descending Hills Improperly

Improperly descending a hill could cause loss of control or overturn. Always

follow proper procedures for traveling down hills as described in the owner's

manual.
• Use the brake pedal to control speed when descending a hill. Never travel

down a hill at high speed.

• Always descend a hill with the direction selector on FORWARD. Never

descend a hill in neutral.

• Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.
• Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean

sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill.
