Never operate on hills that are slippery or ones where you will not be able to see far enough
ahead of you. Never go over the top of a hill at speed if you cannot see what is on the other
side.
●
Always follow proper procedures for going uphill. If you lose momentum and cannot continue
up a hill, back down the hill with the engine in reverse gear. Use engine braking to help you go
slowly. If necessary, use the brakes gradually to help you go slowly.
●
Always check terrain carefully before going down hills. Go as slowly as possible. Never go
down a hill at high speed.
●
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
●
Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water or water deeper than the floorboards on this
model. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the linings.
●
Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you operate in reverse.
When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly. Do not brake abruptly when carrying loads in
the cargo bed.
●
Always use the size and type of tires specified in this manual.
●
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
●
Never exceed the stated load capacity. Cargo should be as far forward in the bed as possible,
and distributed evenly from side to side. Be sure cargo is secured so that it cannot move
around during operation. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying car-
go or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.
