Think Safety First

Please read all safety instructions and symbols in the safety
section. Knowing this information could help you or
bystanders avoid injury.
DANGER
Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers,
which may result in serious injury, death or

There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is

Always keep the roll bar in the fully raised and
locked position and use the seat belt.
Read and follow the rollover protection instructions
and warnings.

• Do not operate near drop-offs or near water.
• Do not operate on slopes greater than 15 degrees.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
