Machine Overview
Design Limitations
This machine is designed as an off-road all-terrain vehicle.
The fundamental design concept is a compromise
between ruggedness which calls for strength and weight
versus light-footedness to move over swampy wet areas.
Although the machine is exceptionally rugged for its
class, it is still a light machine and its operation must be
restricted to its proper purpose. The addition of weight to
any part of the machine changes its stability and modifies
its performance.
Off-Road Operation
NOTE:
Off-road operation is dangerous. Never assume
that one off-road machine has the same
operating capabilities as another. There are
many varieties of different sizes and designs of
off-road machines. Each is built with differing
operating abilities.
Off-road terrain which has not been specially prepared
to carry machines presents an inherent danger where
angularity, dirt substance, and exact steepness are
unpredictable. The terrain presents a continual element
of danger which must be knowingly accepted by anyone
venturing over it.
When operating the machine off-road, the operator must
always use extreme care in selecting the safest path and
keeping a close watch on terrain ahead. The machine
should NEVER be operated by anyone who is not
familiar with the operating instructions applicable to the
machine nor should the machine be operated in steep
or treacherous terrain by anyone not thoroughly familiar
with the machine’s performance on moderate terrain.
Operating And Safety Precautions
Care, caution, experience and driving skill are the best
precautions against the hazards of off-road machine
operation. Whenever there is the slightest doubt that the
machine can safely negotiate an obstacle on a particular
piece of terrain, always choose an alternate route. In
offroad operation, power and traction, not speed, are
important. Never drive faster than visibility, terrain and
your own ability to select a safe route permits. Constantly
watch the terrain ahead for sudden changes in slopes or
obstacles such as rocks, logs, or stumps that may cause
loss of stability, resulting in tip-over or roll-over.
