Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Owner’s Manual
COMMON SENSE OPERATION
Never transport loaded firearms on or in vehicle.
Check that firearms are unloaded with the safety engaged and are properly secured with muzzle
pointing in a safe direction before operating vehicle. Be aware of other firearms in proximity to
operator and passengers.
This vehicle is not a toy.
If not operated properly and responsibly, it can cause severe injury or death to the operator,
passengers or bystanders. All operators should possess a valid driver’s license. Children should not be permitted to
operate the vehicle. Children may not have the skill, judgment or strength to operate this or similar vehicles.
Alcohol, drugs and many over the counter medications reduce the ability of the driver to operate the vehicle safely.
Always review side effects of any medication with a doctor or pharmacist before operating vehicle.
Protective clothing and an approved motorcycle helmet are recommended for operator and passengers when operating
vehicle in rough or densely wooded terrain.
When driving at full speed on a dirt road, loose surfaces or wet grass, vehicle stopping distance will increase. If the vehi-
cle is fully loaded, it requires longer to stop than with no load. When operating vehicle in wet weather conditions, remem-
ber that the brakes may need to be
lightly
applied in order to provide enough friction to dry the brake unit. If wet, the
brakes lose much of their effect.
Slow down when on unfamiliar terrain. Slow down when cresting a hill in an area that is not familiar.
Some hills are too steep to climb. If attempting to climb a hill that is too steep or if unable to achieve adequate traction,
do not attempt to turn around on the hill. Slowly back straight down the hill using the brake pedal to control
speed.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
As a responsible user, practice respect for all wildlife and their habitat. Respect private property
and comply with all local laws and regulations governing the use of light duty utility vehicles. To
prevent severe injury or death while driving, be aware of environmental hazards such as steep
slopes, overhanging limbs, etc.
