Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on this vehicle there are "washboard" or
rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable and even cause back injury. "Post-
ing" or riding in a crouched position will often be required. Slow down and allow your flexed legs
to absorb impact.
If a road usage is allowed in your area, operate your vehicle on paved surface only for short
distance and for the only purpose of moving the vehicle from an off-road usage to another.
Always operate your vehicle at low speed (never exceed 65 km/h (40 MPH)) and reduce the
speed before making a turn. Always respect all road traffic laws when operating your vehicle on
public roads or streets. If you have to cross a road, the lead driver should get off his vehicle then
observe and give direction to the other riders. The last person after crossing then assists the
lead driver to cross. Do not travel on sidewalks. They are designated for pedestrian use.
Water can be a unique hazard. If it is too deep the vehicle may "float" and topple. Check the
water depth and current before you attempt to cross any water. Water should not go above the
footrest. Be wary of slippery surfaces such as rocks, grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on
its banks. A loss of traction may occur. Do not attempt to enter the water at high speed. The
water will act as a brake and could throw you.
