5 Safety Information/General Precautions

5.3 Avoid Hot Part Hazards

The engine, exhaust, transmission, cooling system and other ancil-
lary parts on the ROXOR become very hot during operation. Burns
from touching these parts can happen in less than one second, but
can be very serious. Help reduce the risk of burns by following these
instructions.

l

Use cool water on the burned areas. Avoid ice and cold water.

l

Clean the burn area immediately, and keep the area clean.

l

Cover or wrap the burn with a clean, dry gauze pad, cloth or
towel.

l

For severe burns, call 911 and get medical attention right away.

l

Do not apply butter, toothpaste, sprays, or other home remedies.

Avoid contact with the engine, exhaust, transmission,

cooling system and other very hot parts, during and shortly after
operation to avoid burns and any other severe injury.

5.4 Accessories and Modifications

It is important to take the time to get familiar with the ROXOR once
authorized and approved modifications are made, to help under-
stand how to adapt your driving behavior accordingly. Mahindra
parts and accessories have been specifically designed for use on the
Mahindra ROXOR Offroad Side x Side. We strongly recommend that
all parts and accessories you add to your ROXOR be genuine

Mahindra parts and accessories, so as not to affect your safety, EPA
compliance or factory limited warranty.

Mahindra Vehicle Sales and Service, Inc. warrants that the Accessor-
ies, as further defined below, are free from defects in material and
workmanship:

l

For ninety (90) days from the date of purchase, if purchased by
consumer without installation by a ROXOR authorized dealer; or

l

If installed by a ROXOR authorized dealer within thirty (30) days
from the date of purchase of the Accessory, the standard Lim-
ited Warranty accompanying the ROXOR.

Do not tamper with unauthorized modifications or install equipment
not specifically certified by Mahindra for the ROXOR. These modi-
fications have not been tested by Mahindra and they may increase
emissions, risk of injury, loss of control or render the ROXOR illegal
to use or operate.

As an example, tampering with tire specifications or ride height (lift
kit) may affect the behavior of the ROXOR and increase the risk of
roll over and loss of control. If you have questions, consult your
local authorized dealer for suitable, available accessories for your
ROXOR.

The ROXOR was certified to EPA emissions and vol-

untary safety standards; including the ANSI ROHVA. Any modi-
fications or addition of accessories may affect the certifications,
emissions, safety and handling resulting in injury or death.
