SAFETY
Operator Safety
Seat Belts
Riding in this vehicle without wearing the seat belt increases the risk of serious
injury in the event of an accident or sudden stop. Riders must wear seat belts at
all times. Seat belts reduce the severity of injury in the event of a sudden stop or
accident. Always make sure the seat belts are secured for both the operator and
passenger before riding.
Failure to Inspect Before Operating
Failure to inspect and verify that the vehicle is in safe operating condition before
operating increases the risk of an accident.
Always inspect your RANGER before each use to make sure it's in safe
operating condition.
Always follow all inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules
described in the owner's manual.
