Operator Safety
Carrying a Passenger
Never carry a passenger until you have operated this vehicle for at least two
hours and have completed the New Operator Driving Procedures outlined on
pages 40-41. Passengers must always be seated in a passenger seat with seat
belt secured. Never drive the vehicle until all occupants are properly seated.
Carrying Multiple Passengers
Carrying more than one passenger can affect the operator’s ability to steer and
operate the controls, which increases the risk of loss of control, accident or
overturn.
Never allow more than two passengers to occupy the rear seat.
Operating on Public Roads
Operating this vehicle on public streets, roads or highways could result in a
collision with another vehicle.
Never operate this vehicle on any public street, road or highway, including dirt
and gravel roads, unless permitted by local regulations. In many areas it's
unlawful to operate vehicles of this type on public streets, roads and highways.
Operating at Excessive Speeds
Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds increases the operator's risk of
losing control.
Never exceed the maximum recommended speed for this vehicle. Always
operate at a speed that's appropriate for the terrain, the visibility and operating
conditions, your skills and your passenger’s skills.
