Carrying Multiple Passengers
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
52-53.
A passenger must always be seated in a passenger
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.

safety and the safety of others, carefully consider how your vehicle is loaded
and how to safely operate the vehicle. Follow the instructions in this manual for
loading, tire pressure, gear selection and speed.
• Do not exceed vehicle weight capacities. The vehicle’s maximum weight
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.
