• Do not operate the Ventrac 2100 without an attachment mounted on the front.
• Do not make rapid changes in speed or direction. Reduce vehicle speed on slopes and when making
sharp turns to prevent loss of control.

Attention
It is a violation of California Public Resource Code
Section 4442 to use or operate this engine on
forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered
lane unless the exhaust system is equipped with
a spark arrestor maintained in effective working
order. If your power unit is not equipped with a
spark arrestor, contact your authorized Ventrac
dealer for purchase of a spark arrestor.
Operating, servicing, and maintaining off-road
equipment can expose you to chemicals including
engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and
lead, which are known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except as neces-
sary, service equipment in a well-ventilated area
and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently
when servicing your equipment.
