protection; long pants; substantial, slip-resistant
footwear; and hearing protection. Tie back long
hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose

2. Step
•
Use extra caution when braking or turning the
machine with a heavy load in the bed.
•
Carrying oversized loads in the bed reduces
the stability of the machine. Do not exceed the
carrying capacity of the bed.
•
Carrying material that cannot be bound to the
machine, such as a large tank of liquid, may affect
the steering, braking, and stability of the machine.
When you carry material that cannot be bound to
the machine, use caution when steering or braking.
•
Carry a reduced load and reduce the ground
speed of the machine when operating on rough,
uneven terrain, and near curbs, holes, and other
sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift,
causing the machine to become unstable.
•
Before you start the engine, ensure that the
transmission is in neutral, the parking brake is
engaged, and you are in the operating position.
•
You and your passenger should remain seated
with fastened seatbelts whenever the machine
g256168
is moving. Keep your hands on the steering
wheel; your passenger should use the handholds
provided. Keep arms and legs within the machine
body at all times.
•
Do not mount or dismount a moving machine.
•
Operate the machine only in good visibility.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Use care
when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or
other objects that may obscure your vision.
•
Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs
such as tree limbs, door jambs, overhead
walkways, etc.
•
Look behind and down before reversing the
machine to be sure of a clear path.
•
When using the machine on public roads, follow
all traffic regulations and use any additional
accessories that may be required by law, such as
lights, turn signals, slow-moving vehicle (SMV)
signs, and others as required.
•
If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop the
machine immediately, shut off the engine, remove
the key, wait for all movement to stop, and inspect
for damage. Repair all damage to the machine
before resuming operation.
•
It can take longer to stop the machine on wet
surfaces than on dry surfaces.
•
Do not touch the engine, transmission, axles,
exhaust pipe, diesel-particulate filter, or hydraulic
components while the engine is running, or soon
after you shut off the engine, because these areas
may be hot enough to cause burns.
