Read and understand the following warnings before attempt-
ing to operate the vehicle

To prevent personal injury or death, observe
the following:

When vehicle is to be left unattended, engage
park brake, move direction selector to neutral,
turn key to ‘OFF’ position and remove key.

Drive vehicle only as fast as terrain and safety
considerations allow. Consider the terrain and
traffic conditions. Consider environmental fac-
tors which effect the terrain and the ability to
control the vehicle.

Avoid driving fast down hill. Sudden stops or
change of direction may result in a loss of con-
trol. Use service brake to control speed when
traveling down an incline.

Use extra care and reduced speed when driv-
ing on poor surfaces, such as loose dirt, wet
grass, gravel, etc.

All travel should be directly up or down hills.

Use extra care when driving the vehicle across
an incline.

Stay in designated areas and avoid steep
slopes. Use the park brake whenever the vehi-
cle is parked.

Keep feet, legs, hands and arms inside vehicle
at all times.

Avoid extremely rough terrain.

Check area behind the vehicle before operat-
ing in reverse.

Make sure the direction selector is in correct
position before attempting to start the vehicle.

Slow down before and during turns. All turns
should be executed at reduced speed.

Always bring vehicle to a complete stop before
shifting the direction selector.

See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS for vehicle
load and seating capacity.

Read and understand the following text and warnings before
attempting to service vehicle:

In any product, components will eventually fail to perform
properly as the result of normal use, age, wear or abuse.

It is virtually impossible to anticipate all possible compo-
nent failures or the manner in which each component
may fail.

Be aware that a vehicle requiring repair indicates that the
vehicle is no longer functioning as designed and there-
fore should be considered potentially hazardous. Use
extreme care when working on any vehicle. When diag-
nosing, removing or replacing any components that are
not operating correctly, take time to consider the safety of
yourself and others around you should the component
move unexpectedly.

Some components are heavy, spring loaded, highly cor-
rosive, explosive or may produce high amperage or
reach high temperatures. Battery acid and hydrogen gas
could result in serious bodily injury to the technician/
mechanic and bystanders if not treated with the utmost
caution. Be careful not to place hands, face, feet or body
in a location that could expose them to injury should an
unforeseen situation occur.

Always use the appropriate tools listed in the tool list and
wear approved safety equipment

Before working on the vehicle, remove all jew-
elry (rings, watches, necklaces, etc.)

Be sure no loose clothing or hair can contact
moving parts.

Use care not to touch hot objects.

Raise rear of vehicle and support on jack
stands before attempting to run or adjust pow-
ertrain.

Wear eye protection when working on or
around the vehicle. In particular, use care when
working around batteries, using solvents or
compressed air.

Hydrogen gas is formed when charging batter-
ies. Do not charge batteries without adequate
ventilation.

Do not permit open flame or anyone to smoke
in an area that is being used for charging bat-
teries. A concentration of 4% hydrogen gas or
more is explosive.
