Safety Warnings
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 while applying heavy throttle. 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 hold 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. A passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat with
seat belt secured, with both feet on the floor and with both hands securely
grasping the passenger hand hold.
Always keep 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.
Always descend a hill with the transmis-
sion in forward gear. Never descend a
hill with the transmission in neutral.
Always check the terrain carefully before
descending a hill.
Never travel down a hill at high speed.
Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle,
which would cause the vehicle to lean
sharply to one side. Travel straight
downhill.
