OPERATING THE VEHICLE

Improper use of the vehicle or the lack of proper maintenance may result in damage or decreased performance.
Read the following warnings before attempting to operate the vehicle.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or death resulting from loss of vehicle control, the fol-
lowing warnings must be observed:
When driving vehicle, consider the terrain, traffic conditions and the environmental factors which
effect the terrain and the ability to control the vehicle.
Use extra care and reduced speed when driving on poor surfaces, such as loose dirt, wet grass,
gravel, etc.
Stay in designated areas and avoid extremely rough terrain.
Maintain a safe speed when driving down hill. Use service brake to control speed when traveling
down an incline. A sudden stop or change of direction may result in loss of control.
To prevent loss of control, do not move the direction selector of a vehicle while the vehicle is in
motion. Moving the selector will result in a sudden slowing of the vehicle and the beeping of a
warning device.
Slow down before and during turns. All turns should be made at reduced speed.
