– use slow speeds on slopes and during tight turns;
– stay alert for humps and hollows and other hidden
hazards;
•
Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches, steep banks or
water. Tracks dropping over edges can cause roll overs,
which may result in serious injury, death or drowning.
•
Do not operate on slopes where slippery conditions
could reduce traction and could cause sliding and loss
of control.
•
Do not make sudden turns or rapid speed changes.
•
Reduce speed and use extreme caution on slopes.
•
Remove or mark obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
from the operating area. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
Watch for ditches, holes, rocks, dips, and rises that change
the operating angle, as rough terrain could overturn the
machine.
•
Avoid sudden starts when operating uphill because the
machine may tip backwards.

Do not operate on ice incapable of supporting the weight
of this machine.
