STOPPING THE VEHICLE

To stop the vehicle, release the accelerator pedal and press the brake pedal until the vehicle comes to a com-
plete stop. See following WARNING and CAUTION.
∆
WARNING
• Driving through water may affect the brakes. After driving through water, check effectiveness
of the brakes by gently pressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle does not slow down at the
normal rate, continue to press the brake pedal until the brakes dry out and normal
performance returns.
∆
CAUTION
• When stopped on a hill, use the brake pedal to hold your position. Do not use the accelerator
pedal.

PARKING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE

1. After stopping the vehicle, set hand brake until it locks. Make sure it is fully engaged. This will prevent the
vehicle from rolling.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position.
Remove the key and turn the fuel shut-off valve to the closed (OFF) position when the vehicle is not in
use (Figure 10, Page 21). See also Figure 17, Page 29.

LOADING AND UNLOADING

∆
WARNING
• Firmly engage the park brake before loading the vehicle.
• Do not allow riders in the cargo bed.
• Reduce vehicle load and speed when driving up or down slopes or on uneven terrain.
• Do not exceed the rated vehicle capacity. Rated capacity is for level surfaces only.
• Overloading can affect vehicle handling or cause component failure, resulting in loss of
control of vehicle and possible severe personal injury.
• Reduce speed and avoid sudden stops when backing up. Failure to do so may cause the
vehicle to overturn or flip over backwards.
• Avoid stopping on a hill when loaded. If you must stop on a hill, avoid sudden starts, or rolling
backwards and stopping suddenly. Failure to heed this warning may cause vehicle to
overturn, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
• Vehicle load and speed must be reduced when driving up or down slopes or on uneven
terrain.
• Do not load the tailgate. The tailgate should be in the upright position and latched securely
while the vehicle is in motion.
• To help avoid shifting the vehicle load and possibly overturning the vehicle, avoid sudden
starts, sudden stops, and abrupt turns. Make sure cargo is well secured.
