Safety Warnings
Physical Control of the Vehicle
Removing hands from the steering wheel or hand holds 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. Passengers should always be seated in a passenger seat with seat
belt secured, with both feet on the floor and with both hands securely grasping
the passenger hand hold or grab bar.
Always keep hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.
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 transmission 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.
Improper Hill Climbing
Improper hill climbing could cause loss of
control or overturn. Use extreme caution when
operating on hills. Always follow proper
procedures for hill climbing as described in the
owner's manual. See page 60.
