vehicle for at least two hours and have completed the
New Operator Driving Procedures outlined on pages

seat with seat belt secured. Carrying more than one
passenger in this vehicle can affect the operator’s
ability to steer and operate the controls, which
increases the risk of loss of control and accident or
overturn. Never carry more than one passenger in
this vehicle.

loading, tire pressure, gear selection and speed.

capacity is listed in the specifications section of this manual and on a label on
the vehicle. When more passenger weight is added, cargo weight may need to
be reduced accordingly.

manual and on a label on the vehicle.
