SAFETY INFORMATION Be a responsible owner As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your Ranch po- ny.While understanding all parts of this manual are important for vehicle ownership, be sure to read this chapter and the instructions in Chapter 7 before operating the Ranch pony.Also use these two chapters and the labels on the vehicle to instruct new operators and passengers.
Page 17 Before you operate the vehicle  Prepare yourself and your passenger: ● This vehicle is intended for use only by an operator 16 or older with a valid motor vehicle license. ● This vehicle is designed to carry the driver and one passenger. Never carry passengers in the cargo bed.
Page 18 Prepare your vehicle Perform the pro-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See Chapter 5 for a list of pre-operation checks. Prepare your load or trailer Carrying loads, towing a trailer or pulling objects can affect handling stability and cause the risk of overturns or other accidents.
Page 19 While using the Ranch pony  Keep your body completely inside the vehicle at all times. Keep both hands on the steering wheel. Be sure the passenger is seated, belted, and holding onto the handholds. Close doors before driving. Any part of your body (arms, legs and head) outside the vehicle can be struck by objects your vehicle is passing or crushed by the vehicle cage/frame in a rollover accident.
Page 20  Avoid rollovers: ● Use carefully when turning: ● Turning the steering wheel too far or too fast can result in a rollover. ● Avoid sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and never do donuts. ● Slow down before entering a turn and avoid hard braking in a turn. ●...

Page 22 Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust.
Page 23 Genuine BMS Accessories Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an important decision. Genuine BMS accessories, which are available only from a BMS dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved by BMS for use on your Ranch pony Many companies with no connection to BMS manufacture parts and accessories or offer other mod- ifications for BMS vehicles.
Page 24 Aftermarket tires and rims The tires and rims that came with your Vehicle were designed to match the performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to Chapter 8 for tire specifications and more infor- mation on replacing your tires.
