Think Safety First

Please read all safety instructions and symbols in the
safety section. Knowing this information could help
you or bystanders avoid injury.
Operating on icy or steep slopes can cause
sliding and loss of control.
A track dropping over an edge can cause a
rollover, which may result in serious injury,
death, or drowning.
Always use the seat belt.
Read and follow the rollover protection
instructions and warnings.
To avoid loss of control and possibility of
rollover:
• Do not operate near drop-offs or near water.
• Reduce speed and use extreme caution on
slopes.
• Avoid sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
