familiar with the Operator's Manual and all labels on
the vehicle.
• Be sure to establish your own special procedures and
work rules for unusual operating conditions (e.g.
slopes too steep for vehicle operation). Use the 3rd

understanding the contents of this manual. A
replacement manual is available by sending complete

allow adults to operate it without proper instructions.
