No Alcohol Or Drugs - American Sportworks LANDmaster Operator's Safety And Service Manual

SECTION 5
Use of this Vehicle on Unfamiliar or Rough Terrain
Before driving in an unfamiliar area, always check the terrain thoroughly . Don't drive fast on unfamiliar terrain or when visibility is limited (it is often difficult to react to hidden
obstructions like rocks, bumps, or holes) .
Never drive past the limit of visibility . Maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and other off-road vehicles . Always exercise caution and use extreme care on rough,
slippery and loose terrain .
WARNING
!
• Failure to use extra care when operating this vehicle on unfamiliar terrain could result in the unit overturning or
going out of control. Go slowly and use extreme caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to
changing terrain conditions when operating the vehicle.
• Failure to use extra care when operating on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain could cause loss of traction
or vehicle control, resulting in an accident or overturn. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain
until you have learned and practiced the skills necessary to control the vehicle on such terrain. Always be especially
cautious on these types of terrain.
• STOP the vehicle and back slowly down any hill that the vehicle lacks the power or traction to climb. Do NOT turn
across the slope or try to turn around.
a) Turning on a slope increases the risk of rollover.
b) Control the descent speed with the brake (left foot pedal).
c) Re-applying the throttle when facing a steep up-hill increases the risk of the front tires leaving the
ground and the vehicle over-turning.
