CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine

snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the ve-
hicle. During operation, the vehicle
may suddenly move forward or back-
ward, causing injury or damage to
nearby people or objects.
