Operator Safety
Operating a Damaged Vehicle
Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident. After any accident, have a qualified service
dealer inspect the entire machine for possible damage, including (but not limited to) brakes,
accelerator, steering system and electrical system.
Operating at Excessive Speeds
Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds increases the operator's risk of losing control. Always
operate at a speed that's appropriate for the traffic, the visibility and operating conditions, your skills
and your passenger’s skills.
Vehicle Rollover
Vehicle rollover could cause serious injury or death. The cab frame is not designed or intended to
provide rollover protection
.
Always make sure the seat belts are secured for operator and passenger
before operating. Avoid situations that could result in a rollover. Avoid sharp turns and abrupt steering
maneuvers.
Driving Through Water
Do not drive through water above the floor of the vehicle. Battery damage will occur.
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.
