as well as the
scribe what you should know about this vehicle before riding it.

Persons with cognitive or physical impairments or who are high risk takers have an
increased exposure to overturns or collisions which may result in injury including
death.
Not all vehicles are the same. Each has its own unique performance characteris-
tics, controls and features. Each will ride and handle differently.
Become completely familiar with the operational controls and the general opera-
tion of the vehicle before venturing into off road conditions. Practice driving in a
suitable area free of hazards and feel the response of each control. Drive at low
speeds. Higher speeds require greater experience, knowledge and suitable riding
conditions.
Riding conditions vary from place to place. Each is subject to weather conditions
which may radically change from time to time and from season to season.
Riding on sand is different than riding on snow or through forests or marshes.
Each location may require a greater degree of awareness and skills. Show good
judgement. Always proceed with caution. Please do not take any unnecessary
risks that could leave you stranded or possibly injured.
Never assume that the vehicle will go everywhere safely. Sudden changes in ter-
rain caused by holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder "ground" or other irreg-
ularities may cause the vehicle to topple or become unstable. To avoid this, slow
down and always observe the terrain ahead. If the vehicle does begin to topple or
tipover, the best advice is to immediately get off... AWAY from the direction of the
tipover!
