WARNING
Loose Terrain:
Loose terrain may cause a vehicle to lose traction and may affect stability. Areas of
loose terrain should be repaired if possible, or chained or roped off to prevent vehicle operation, or identified by a
suitable warning to operators not to operate vehicles in this area due to lose terrain or possible hazardous conditions.
WARNING
Pedestrian Areas:
Areas where pedestrians and vehicles interfere shall be avoided whenever
possible by rerouting the vehicle traffic or the pedestrian traffic to eliminate the interference. If elimination of the
interference is not possible or is highly impractical, signs should be erected warning pedestrian traffic and to drive
slowly and use extreme caution.
CAUTION
Ventilation:
Never charge a vehicle in an area that is subject to flame or spark. Pay particular attention
to natural gas or propane gas water heaters and furnaces.
Safety
On steep hills it is possible for vehicles to coast at greater than normal speeds encountered on a flat surface. To prevent
loss of vehicle control and possible serious injury, speeds should be limited to no more than the maximum speed on
level ground. Limit speed by reducing or eliminating pressure on the accelerator pedal, which engages the automatic
brake function.
Catastrophic damage to the drive train components due to excessive speed may result from driving the vehicle above
specified speed. Damage caused by excessive speed may cause a loss of vehicle control and is costly. This is considered
abuse and will not be covered under warranty.
If the vehicle is to be used in a commercial environment, signs should be used to warn of situations that could result in
an unsafe coasting condition.
Keep this manual as part of the permanent service record in case the vehicle should be resold.
Your CRICKET vehicle is intended for off-road use only. The owner should check local and other applicable laws and
regulations before operating.
