S This vehicle is capable of high speeds. Buried objects or uneven ter-
rain can cause loss of control. Reduce speed and use extreme cau-
tion when operating i n unfamiliar terrain.
S Excessive speed, especially at night or with limited visibility, can re-
sult in insufficient time for you to react to terrain changes, to avoid
unexpected obstacles, or to stop safely.

hicle.

Owner’s Manual for proper use of traction products.
