SAFETY
After operation, inspect the vehicle for damage and debris to make sure the
vehicle can be safely stored and operated again. Some things to inspect include:
• Debris that could catch fire, such as mud/grass near the engine or exhaust
system
• Damage to the suspension, steering, or any other part of the vehicle
• Tire condition, such as tread and sidewall damage
• Shock absorber assembly condition
Be sure to have any issues checked and problems fixed before operating again.
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,
confusion, and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless,
tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine
exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can
quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If
you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area
immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.
• Do not run engine indoors. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with
fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach
dangerous levels.
• Do not run engine in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as
barns, garages, or carports. If you start a vehicle in one of these, drive it out
and close the door as soon as possible. If you drive it into one of these, turn it
off as soon as possible.
• Do not run engine outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a
building through openings such as windows and doors.
