When descending hills or slopes apply steady pressure to

the foot brake to avoid potential of freewheeling or runaway.

Never allow vehicle to coast or free wheel in neutral or loss

of control may result.

If vehicle loses power and stops on a hill, immediately

engage foot brake and back slowly down the hill maintaining

a straight downhill line of travel. Do not attempt to turn

vehicle sideways on the hill or a rollover could result.

Never operate vehicle without good visibility and lighting.

When traveling at night always use your headlights and

reduce speed according to visibility, trail and terrain

conditions.

Do not operate this vehicle on highways, public roads, or

where it may be a hazard to faster moving traffic.

Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing a

gravel drive, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or

traffic.

Avoid water crossings when possible and never cross a

body of water where depth is unknown. Loss of power will

occur if drive belt becomes submerged or wet. Unnecessary

crossing of streams and waterways erodes shore line and

damages water-born habitat. If you must cross, do it at a

point where banks are not steep and proceed at a slow and

steady speed. Do not travel in water that is higher than the

bottom wheel lug nuts. Water higher than the bottom wheel

lug nut can damage the brake system and get the drive belt

wet stalling the vehicle. However, intermittent stream

crossings where depth of water briefly comes into contact

with bottom of floorboards is acceptable.

See Going Out on

the Trail on page 17.

Never use vehicle for racing and never modify engine to

exceed 25 MPH vehicle speed.
