SAFETY
Operator Safety
Operating on Pavement
This vehicle's tires are designed for off-road use only, not for use on pavement. Operating this vehicle
on paved surfaces (including sidewalks, paths, parking lots and driveways) may adversely affect the
handling of the vehicle and may increase the risk of loss of control and accident or rollover. Avoid
operating the vehicle on pavement. If it's unavoidable, travel slowly, travel short distances and avoid
sudden turns or stops.
Operating on Public Roads
Operating this vehicle on public streets, roads or highways could result in a collision with another
vehicle. Never operate this vehicle on any public street, road or highway, including dirt and gravel roads
(unless designated for off-highway use). In some areas it's unlawful to operate this vehicle on public
streets, roads and highways.
Turning Improperly
Turning improperly could cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or rollover. Always follow
proper procedures for turning as described in this owner’s manual. Never turn abruptly or at sharp
angles. Never turn at high speeds. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds.
Jumps and Stunts
Attempting wheelies, jumps and other stunts increases the risk of an accident or rollover. Never attempt
wheelies, jumps, or other stunts. Avoid exhibition driving.
Operating in Unfamiliar Terrain
Failure to use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain could result in an accident or rollover.
Unfamiliar terrain may contain hidden rocks, bumps, or holes that could cause loss of control or
rollover. Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to
changing terrain conditions.
Operating on Slippery Terrain
Failure to use extra caution when operating on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain could cause
loss of traction, loss of control, accident or rollover. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces.
Always slow down and use additional caution when operating on slippery surfaces.
Skidding or sliding due to loss of traction can cause loss of control or rollover (if tires regain traction
unexpectedly). Always follow proper procedures for operating on slippery surfaces as described in this
owner's manual. See page 35.
