6 Safe Operations and Responsibilities
reverse, go slowly. Never exceed the stated load limits for this
vehicle. Cargo must be properly secured. Reduce speed, allow for
greater braking distance and follow all instructions in section
. Always remember that the ROXOR is
heavy! Its pure weight alone may entrap you should it tip or rollover.
6.6 Terrain Condition
The ROXOR is
not
equipped for, or legal to operate on, public streets,
roads, or highways. If you must use the ROXOR on public streets,
roads, or highways, avoid abrupt inputs to the steering wheel, accel-
erator pedal and brake pedal. Be alert of motor vehicles that are
equipped for on road use, as the ROXOR is not.
Take the time to learn how the ROXOR performs in different envir-
onments by reading and comprehending section
. Check the terrain carefully before you start up and
down hills, enter or exit water, or drive through tall grasses when the
surface texture is not visible. Remember that wet brakes may have
reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water and if
necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the brakes.
Sudden changes in terrain caused by holes, depressions, banks,
softer or harder ground or other irregularities may cause the vehicle
to roll over or become unstable. To avoid this, slow down and
always observe the terrain ahead. If the ROXOR does begin to
rollover, the best advice is to immediately steer in the direction of the
rollover and
do not
attempt to prevent a rollover with your arms or
legs. Always keep your limbs inside the Rollover Protective Structure
(ROPS).
