KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
This off-road vehicle will handle and maneu-
ver differently from cars, ATVs, go-carts, golf-
cars and grounds-keeping vehicles. The Vi-
king has higher ground clearance and other
features to handle rugged terrain, and, as a
result, can overturn in situations where some
vehicles may not. This would include vehicles
made primarily for pavement, roads, im-
proved paths, or grounds-keeping. If you do
not use care in maneuvering the Viking, you
can cause it to roll over even on flat, open ar-
eas.
Doing things with a Viking that some people
do for thrills in other vehicles [such as side-
ways sliding, skidding, fishtailing (rear-wheel
sliding), or donuts] have led to side rollovers.
These rollovers can result in crushed limbs
and other serious injuries or death to drivers
or passengers.
