supplied equipment on a Yerf-Dog SCOUT in order to increase its speed or power. Do not make any
modification to the Yerf-Dog SCOUT for that purpose. Any modification of the vehicle's original
equipment may substantially increase the risk of serious injury or death. Because any such
modifications may create a substantial safety hazard, you are therefore advised that the warranty
on your Yerf-Dog SCOUT is terminated if any non-OEM equipment is added or any modifications
are made to the vehicle to increase its speed or power.
You are also advised to follow strictly the recommended maintenance program described in this
manual. The preventive maintenance program is designed to insure that all critical components of
the Yerf-Dog SCOUT are inspected by your Service Center on a regular schedule (hourly intervals).
